I've never seen one with a ferro-resonant transformer. They use a
standard laminated core power transformer with a pair of magnetic shunts
to regulate the current.

All I've ever had to a u-w power supply was to replace the rectifier
stack; or junk the oven because it was clearly smoked...
Someone one mentioned they were F-R, and a casual look seemed to confirm
that, so I never questioned it. A F-R is also current limited; short the
output and it delivers rated current, period..
