Maplin sell a triac BTA08-600B which works fine as a replacement. You may need to replace the capacitors and the 220 ohm resistor too.

while you've got the machine apart, you might want to take the opportunity to replace the motor brushes. They were worn down to the copper base on my A901, and the running was very lumpy. Available from the same source (spares2go.co.uk)
