If the transistors are there, they are going to be using them but you might have bad one. Where is the 2a fuse, in the supply or the load? Do you have a scope? There may be a problem with the rectifier or filter that is putting AC or a bad ripple on the bulk DC to the regulator.
These things are really pretty simple devices. It looks like a center tapped transformer feeding 2 diodes, some filtering and the pass regulator.
