Budbox

|
|
This is a portable unit. "It is extremly handy for free voice calls
|
|||
|
|
and tapping a near by house's line. It's really easy to make so don't
|
|||
|
|
worry about it (unlike a blue box!).

Materials required to build the Bud Box
|
|||
|
|
========= ======== == ===== === === ===
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(2) alligator clips
|
|||
|
|
(1) one peice fone or (1) normal fone
|
|||
|
|
(one peice is easier.)
|
|||
|
|
some good wire
|
|||
|
|
(1) soldering iron
|
|||
|
|
some solder
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Contruction of the Bud Box:
|
|||
|
|
=========== == === === ====
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) Cut the wire that connects the fone to the wall. Inside there should
|
|||
|
|
be 4 colored wires. Yellow, red, green, and black. If the wire are not
|
|||
|
|
colored, no need to get worried. The two in the middle are red, and green.
|
|||
|
|
Those are the two you need.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) Make sure to keep about 1-2 feet of this wire connected to the fone
|
|||
|
|
unless you want to use the other wire listed above. Now solder one alligator
|
|||
|
|
clip to the green wire, and one the red.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) If you're using the other wire, strip the ends and solder one end to
|
|||
|
|
of each to the red and green on the fone, and one end to an alligator
|
|||
|
|
clip.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) Go to a near by house and locate the little gray box. It's simple to
|
|||
|
|
find, look by the gas meter. It should have the Bell logo on it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) To open this thing, put your hand underneath it and hit upwards. You
|
|||
|
|
should get contact with the bottom edge of it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6) Now it should come open nice and easy. Look inside and you will see
|
|||
|
|
five screws in this pattern:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* *
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* *
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7) The screw in the middle and the two on the left do nothing. (You may
|
|||
|
|
want to check the two on the left, some people have a second line hooked
|
|||
|
|
up to these two.) All you need to worry about are the two on the right.
|
|||
|
|
The one in the op right-hand corner is usually the green, and the one in the
|
|||
|
|
bottom right-hand corner is usually the red.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8) Clip an alligator clip to the corresponding terminals. (Red to red,
|
|||
|
|
the green to green.) You should get a dial tone. If you don't, switch the
|
|||
|
|
alligator clips around. If you still don't get a dial tone (or someones
|
|||
|
|
conversation!) then the line has probably been disconnected or the fone
|
|||
|
|
is off the hook.

Ideas of use for the Bud Box
|
|||
|
|
===== == === === === === ===
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Get ALOT of wire and run it into your house. Then you'll be an extension of
|
|||
|
|
that line. The fone will ring and you can listen to everything thats going
|
|||
|
|
on on the that line.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can call direct to any place using normal Bell service (GASP!). i.e.:
|
|||
|
|
1-702-831-4263. The bill will be not be charged to you. It will be charged
|
|||
|
|
to your neighbors (or whoever.).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to have two lines to call (providing the house that the line is
|
|||
|
|
from is always vacant.), you can just dial: 444-1787 and you should get a
|
|||
|
|
recording stating what number it is. To test this, dial the number the
|
|||
|
|
recording says, if it's busy, you're set.
