Electronics repair?

The wife got a treadmill from craigstlist for free- because it doesn't work. The guy said it worked intermittently so I though it might be an easy fix. After checking what I could (it's not a simple 3 wire affair), I looked closer at what I'm guessing is the motor control board. There are two broken resisters(?), the one on the upper left corner of the picture I bent up for clarity, the other was bent up like someone pried it.

I could try to replace the resisters but wouldn't you think their condition doesn't indicate an "intermittent" problem.

Any thoughts/advice?
