Then cut out/remove the varistor and try it. Do not jumper the leads, just remove it from the circuit. Seriously.
I don't see a transistor in the pics. The FL408 looks like a bridge rectifier, changes AC to DC. You should be able to measure an AC voltage across the two ~~ (center) terminals, and DC out between the + and - terminals.
I suspect the varistor was to protect rectifier, and sacrificed itself in a heroic battle with a voltage surge.
