I (had) a broken Roland TR-707 drum machine, and found the problem to
be that the very first component in the power supply input had gone bad
(infinite resistance) and was keeping the input 12VDC from getting
anywhere else in the circuit.
clip of the power supply schematic:

The physical resistor is labeled:
"FN192R7J"
"MICRON 53"
next to perfboard for size comparison:

It is a 2.7 Ohm wire wound resistor.
Its function is very likely to limit in rush current to C1 (470uF).
The 7805 has fold back current limiting.
No idea of the current, but it is no ta whole lot I think.
So if <1A (7805) and 2.7Ohm it should be able to handle 1 x 1 x 2.7 = 2.7 W.
(i x i x R).
So a 3 W 2.7 Ohm wire wound would do it I hope.
3 watts is too low - no safety margin to speak of.
Go for at least 5 watts.
