The accessory side meters out at a constant voltage when I turn the dial. Is this transformer serviceable and what might be wrong with it?

The triacs have shorted and are putting out full transformer voltage. I have purchased replacements but have not yet installed them in my failed transformer. Unfortunately, it's a ways down my priority list.

Where did you purchase the replacements and how much did they cost? I assume these triacs you speak of have to be soldered to the circuit board in the transformer?
If anyone knows about the triac replacements for this transformer please let me know.
Thanks
This thread makes a comment about the triac in the RS-1

I have no knowledge about the RS-1 but the triac used in the MTH Z-controllers which have similar power ratings are about $1-2. If no one else comes forth with specific info, open it up and post a photo of the board. We can at least tell you which part is the triac and you should be able to read the markings on the component to find a replacement.
