Re: Can a GR-1210 No(i)se Ring be upgraded to a 1210A?

Yes, just add the two jacks.

Sincerely, I did not realize so many people wanted a white noise 
source, or I would have just done this to begin with. An honest 
oversight. But since this is a genuine enhancement, it is not 
covered under warranty. Parts cost is about 40 cents, and it 
should take less than half an hour to complete.

Here are the instructions.

"Wire" is #24 stranded or equivalent. It is not critical. 

1. Drill two 1/4" holes to the right of the "Chance In" and "External 
Change" faceplate jacks and and halfway between those jacks 
and the two output jacks (on the same horizontal line).

2. Mount two Mouser Part # 16PJ135 jacks in the 1/4" holes, 
oriented the same way as the existing jacks.

3. The ground lugs for the new jacks should be touching the 
ground bus wire. Solder both new ground lugs to the ground bus 
wire.

4. Find the wire going from PC board solder point J11 to the 
switch input of the "Chance In" jack. Run another wire from either 
of those points to the tip contact for the new "Noise Out" jack.

5. Run a 4 inch wire from the tip contact of the new "External 
Chance" jack to connector J4 on the printed circuit board.

6. Your done! Enjoy!

Once again, Wiard has the brightest, most experienced user 
base you could wish for. The feedback of excellent new ideas is 
fantastic. Whenever practical, these new ideas are immediately 
incorporated in production modules. It is certainly not a trick 
designed to make you buy the same module twice!

As it happened, the Stooge Panel guys quized me about all 
possible outputs to fill up the larger panel. Then Andrew 
Scheidler asked me if I could do the same thing with the 
Frac-Rac version. That just happened to coincide with switching 
to the Schaeffer faceplates, and 5 weeks latter, all new Noise 
Rings orders have been upgraded to 8 jacks.
