Clear Box Plans by The Jolly Roger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The clear box is a new device which has just been invented that can be
|
||
|
|
used throughout Canada and rural United States. The clear box works on
|
||
|
|
"PostPay" payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones
|
||
|
|
that don't require payment until after the connection is established.
|
||
|
|
You pick up the fone, get a dial tone, dial your number, and then
|
||
|
|
insert your money after the person answers.
|
||
|
|
If you don't deposit the money then you can not speak to the person on
|
||
|
|
the other end because your mouth piece is cut off but not the ear-piece.
|
||
|
|
(obviously these phones are nice for free calls to weather or time or
|
||
|
|
other such recordings). All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio
|
||
|
|
Shack, or electronics store, and get a four-transistor amplifier and a
|
||
|
|
telephone suction cup induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be
|
||
|
|
hooked up as it normally would to record a conversation, except
|
||
|
|
that it would be plugged into the output of the amplifier and a
|
||
|
|
microphone would be hooked to the input. So when the party
|
||
|
|
that is being called answers, the caller could speak through the little
|
||
|
|
microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out
|
||
|
|
the induction coil, and into the back of the receiver where
|
||
|
|
it would then be broadcast through the phone lines and the other
|
||
|
|
partywould be able to hear the caller. The Clear Box thus
|
||
|
|
'clears up' the problem of not being heard. Luckily, the line will
|
||
|
|
not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because it will wait
|
||
|
|
forever for the coins to be put in.
|
||
|
|
The biggest advantage for all of us about this new clear box is the
|
||
|
|
fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common.
|
||
|
|
Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,
|
||
|
|
dial-tone-first service, 2nd, it doesn't require any special equipment,
|
||
|
|
(for the phone company) This payphone will work on any phone line.
|
||
|
|
Usually a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone line
|
||
|
|
and it is set up so the phone does all the charging, not the company.
