Default Lamp Dimmer

The diodes test good one way so I wonder if either the BT137F triac or
the DB3 diac are the problem. Can these be tested with a VOM?


With that low part count, replace both. Sometimes "shotgun" troubleshooting
pays off compared to time spent testing.

After confirming that all the other components test good (cap, *switch*,
etc.)...
