Although I replaced this module I still am interested in fixing it.

The top output have a quiet oscillator sound, probably the driver. There is no additional digital noise. The bottom works as it should. 

I have tried replacing the schmitt trigger, switching them etc. This has not worked. I also have replaced the jacks. 

Bypassing the input jack as seen here: http://oldsocksandnewtoys.blogspot.com/2009/01/doepfer-117-mod.html 

This allows me to run signal in and hear it with clocked digital noise as well, so it sort of sounds like a bit reducer. Cool but not correct.

What other parts should I replace to see if I can get this to work?

Thanks

What happens when you connect the EXT.CLC input to another clock source
(e.g. rectangle of an LFO or VCO) ?

If then the module is working it's a problem with the internal clock
oscillator of the A-117 or a problem with the switching contact of the
EXT.CLC socket.
