If you want to help save me the $81 per transformer, I'd be happy to figure it out though...

I used a Triad transformer and soldered the output directly into the electronic control unit. The transformer is about $20. You could buy the Molex connector if you wanted for an extra $5 or so to make it plug directly into the controller w/o soldering but I'd have to research that a bit. If you wanted to, you could put it in an aluminum enclosure, but I did not, and that would run $5-$10. Just add a short grounded extension cord which you modify and a few wire nuts and you're set! So, probably less than $40. However, if it is still under warranty, I wouldn't advise it.
Another suggestion is that you contact Roger. Sometimes he can help you troubleshoot, as I doubt your transformer has failed (most unlikely thing to fail in the system unless subjected to saltwater or something severe like that). If you have a voltmeter, you should read around 20V out for a 6100 and a bit less for a 6000, but that's center-tapped.
If you want to bring it by sometime, I can probably help you troubleshoot it unless you're sure it is the transformer.

No, I was upgrading from the 6000 to the 6100, the transformer is still good... 
Its still under warantee so I guess I'll just buy the one at PA... Maybe just one instead of the two though to see how much of a difference it makes... 
I'll be driving back through in June or July and can always get the other one then...
Thanks for the help though...
