Need some triac's

[Paul Lupu]

Hello I am new to the animating game, but have been decorating for a while now. Next year I will be using LOR, however time and money have prevented it this year. I am looking for either a Digital Light Show 6 channel controller, or some triac's. I want to use a controller from a set of chasing lights to control multiple strands of lights. I have been given instructions on how to do this but cannot find any triac's in which to build it with.
I am hoping to find them somewhere in west Florida (so I can get them quickly) but will settle on anywhere that I can get it fast. Can anyone help me PLEASE????

Thank You

All electronics ships pretty quickly, and it's hard to beat their prices. Radio Shack used to sell triacs, but I couldn't find them on their online catalog anymore -- and you'd be paying around $2 a pop.
