Hi Doug,
   Welllll... from looking at the specs & photo it isn't a regulated
supply, just a switching inverter.  Explains the poor ripple, and
regulation figures.   

    It appears that the upper right quadrant of the board is a field of
diodes... those could be replaced with just 4 modern devices.

    And there doesn't appear to be any power factor correction -- fairly
standard now-a-days on supplies above 500W.

   2nd efforts are sometimes better...

73 & Good morning,
   Marv WC6W
