There is quite a few videos on youtube for method of testing to see the switching action.
Mouser or Digikey stock them, among others.

S6015L SCR 600V 15A https://secure.sayal.com/STORE4/prodetails.php?SKU=167838
Q4008R4 TRIAC 400V 8A https://secure.sayal.com/STORE4/prodetails.php?SKU=142156

I am not sure if a TRIAC will also work in this application.

I can pick one up and send it by post to you.
Note that the MC-02 treadmill controller is not recommended for high power applications.

Thanks MrChips I know the value of the MC-02 as you refer and a follower of the youtube channel you highlight. It is not my intent to spent a lot of money to repair this board but to increase my knowledge in; how to repair, things to look for and soldering skills in board repair. At this juncture in life it is something to keep the mind active. I have already learned a great deal thanks to you guys. Thanks for the offer to mail a replacement but that wouldn't be necessary. I have access to the following; K30502-01, MBR30100-DT and BT138-600E maybe you could tell me if either of these are close?? It is more about making it work than being able to use it. I may find a suitable replacement from China, cheep and free shipping

Amazon has the BTA12-600 10Pc for $11.00 + tax, free shipping. Any good?

10pc for $11, you can't beat that.
BTA12-600 is a TRIAC.
A TRIAC is bidirectional where as an SCR is unidirectional. I don't know if this will work without seeing the schematics.
If the two TRIACs are in a bridge circuit then they will likely blow by shorting across the power supply.

If that is two SCR's then it is using the same method as the MC-60 board where the SCR's are part of a full wave bridge, there are two large diodes that complete the briodge.
D9 - D10 ?
If D9 and D10 are a part of the bridge are they also uni-directional? on D10 I get a reading one way of .478v the other way 3v whereas on D9 i get 0v and .5v. D8 is reading the same as D10 on the diode scale
