The schematics were printed in The Computer Journal last year sometime.
IIRC, The Computer Journal's URL is http://www.psyber.com/~tcj/.

I have a Jupiter Ace hanging around, also. However, I just built it
last year. Unfortunately, I had to give the rubber keyboard and most of the
memory back to the fellow I borrowed them from; I haven't yet gotten around to
building a keyboard from aluminized mylar, cardboard, and Tyvek (this should
give me a working keyboard, but it will be of ZX80 quality). I've also found
enough 2114s in an old MDA card to bring my Ace back to life...

I don't have a modulator in mine. I gummed a 15-pin D connector to it so I
could drive a spare DEC VR201 I had lying around (yes, the VR201 apparently
does have enough range to do PAL; it worked great).
