Charlie, The mod is not difficult - remove the front panel and separate the board from the dress panel. Then wrap a bare wire around the threads of the mic connector, twist it tight, and run one end over to the ground loop on the left end of the board - solder the wire to the mic connector body (requires a LOT of heat - dwell with the iron until the connector body itself melts the solder) and solder the other end to the ground loop. Reassemble the front panel - Done.
