I've located, though not purchased yet, a used APC H10 at a substantial $avings compared to new.

XenonMan: I've seen the pics & read great tech reviews. Further on another forum read the "15" is a 1.5 KWatt version of the "10" save for a read out on the front panel.

But I haven't verified if this device or any other make/model would isolate the 975 from my other low draw equipment w/out spending a large car payment. I suppose I could use the Digital section for the 975 alone, the high current section for the Xbox, everything else into another may take care of biz. I'm SO desperate that this go-around w/Repair be the last. I bought it early May - four months now. It's spent more time either at Repair or in its shipping box than connected, much less enjoyed.

I won't rule out building a back-up old school PS either from scratch or parts from a 900 series Rotel SSP. Their 900 & 1000 series SSPs come w/independent regulated PSs for each voltage required - I'm confident I'll need just a project box of sorts for housing the same.

Many thanks for your help, Tony
