How to
|
|||
|
|
Build a SILVER BOX
|
|||
|
|
=======================================
|
|||
|
|
ATTENTION:
|
|||
|
|
BE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLDER! THIS
|
|||
|
|
COULD PERMENANTLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
|
|||
|
|
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
|
|||
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|||
|
|
Ingreadients:
|
|||
|
|
1 Blue wire about 1 foot.
|
|||
|
|
1 Gray wire about 1 foot.
|
|||
|
|
1 Brown wire about 1 foot.
|
|||
|
|
(Better to overkill....)
|
|||
|
|
1 Single pole/Double throw
|
|||
|
|
(SPDT) switch. (Smallest
|
|||
|
|
you can find.)
|
|||
|
|
1 Standard bell phone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tools:
|
|||
|
|
1 Soldering Iron and Solder.
|
|||
|
|
1 flat-tip screwdriver.
|
|||
|
|
1 Very patcient person.
|
|||
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|||
|
|
1: Take the casing off your phone by
|
|||
|
|
loosening the two screws
|
|||
|
|
underneath it. (Don't take the
|
|||
|
|
screws all the way off!)
|
|||
|
|
2: Loosen (But don't remove) the
|
|||
|
|
screws on the side of the touch-
|
|||
|
|
tone keypad. (The ones that attach
|
|||
|
|
it to the mounting bracket.) and
|
|||
|
|
CAREFULLY remove the keypad from
|
|||
|
|
the mounting bracket.
|
|||
|
|
3: You will notice a plastic cover on
|
|||
|
|
the keypad; seperate the two
|
|||
|
|
halves and get the out of your
|
|||
|
|
way. (Don't destroy them, you will
|
|||
|
|
need them later.)
|
|||
|
|
4: Now, look at the top of the pad
|
|||
|
|
(so the 123 row is facing away,
|
|||
|
|
and the *0# row is toward you.
|
|||
|
|
Turn over the keypad. You should
|
|||
|
|
see a mass of wires, gold plated
|
|||
|
|
contacts, discrete components, and
|
|||
|
|
two large doughnut shaped black
|
|||
|
|
thingies. (These are the coils hat
|
|||
|
|
make the touch-tone frequencies.
|
|||
|
|
All you are going to do is connect
|
|||
|
|
the wires that Ma Bell "Forgot"
|
|||
|
|
to.)
|
|||
|
|
5: Look at the coil on the left (with
|
|||
|
|
5 solder contacts facing you,
|
|||
|
|
rather than being perpendicular to
|
|||
|
|
you.) Count over 4 contacts FROM
|
|||
|
|
the left (or 2 conacts FROM the
|
|||
|
|
right) and solder the GRAY wire to
|
|||
|
|
the fourth post FROM the left.
|
|||
|
|
6: Solder the other end of the GRAY
|
|||
|
|
wire to the LEFT pole of the SPDT
|
|||
|
|
switch.
|
|||
|
|
7: (The point of no return)..........
|
|||
|
|
Take a look at the bottom edge of
|
|||
|
|
the keypad. You should see a row
|
|||
|
|
of three gold plated contacts (to
|
|||
|
|
the right of two very large
|
|||
|
|
capasitors) look at the one on the
|
|||
|
|
left and GENTELY seperate the two
|
|||
|
|
touching connectors (They are
|
|||
|
|
soldered together with a drop of
|
|||
|
|
solder) and spread them apart.
|
|||
|
|
8: Solder the brown wire to the top
|
|||
|
|
contact (The one futhest from
|
|||
|
|
you), and solder it to the RIGHT
|
|||
|
|
pole of SPDT switch.
|
|||
|
|
9: Now, take the blue wire and solder
|
|||
|
|
it to the bottom (Closest)
|
|||
|
|
contact. Solder the other end of
|
|||
|
|
this wire to the CENTER pole of
|
|||
|
|
SPDT switch.
|
|||
|
|
***************************************
|
|||
|
|
DONE
|
|||
|
|
***************************************
|
|||
|
|
10: Now put you phone back together.
|
|||
|
|
(To make it look professonal, make
|
|||
|
|
a hole in the plastic top of your
|
|||
|
|
phone and stick the SPDT switch
|
|||
|
|
through it.
|
|||
|
|
Now, (Hopefully) when the switch is
|
|||
|
|
in on position you will have a normal
|
|||
|
|
phone and when it is in the other
|
|||
|
|
position the 3, 6, 9, and # keys (Which
|
|||
|
|
are now the A, B, C, and D keys) will
|
|||
|
|
magically produce the SILVER BOX TONES!

|
USING A
|
|||
|
|
SILVER BOX
|
|||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
First off, a silver box adds the
|
|||
|
|
four extra tones to your phone that
|
|||
|
|
Ma Bell never told you about. They go
|
|||
|
|
like this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1 2 3 A
|
|||
|
|
4 5 6 B
|
|||
|
|
7 8 9 C
|
|||
|
|
* 0 # D
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There used to be many places were
|
|||
|
|
you could use SILVER BOX tones, but
|
|||
|
|
now you can only use it in places were
|
|||
|
|
Ma Bell hasn't gotten around to
|
|||
|
|
replacing here old switchboxes,
|
|||
|
|
(4A), or on Autovan.
|
|||
|
|
Autovan is a special military phone
|
|||
|
|
line, like a mass of private lines
|
|||
|
|
hooked together (I think, but I'm not
|
|||
|
|
sure).
|
|||
|
|
To see if a specific area has the
|
|||
|
|
old 4A switchboxes try this test:
|
|||
|
|
Call up there directory assistance by
|
|||
|
|
using XXX-555-1212, (Where XXX is
|
|||
|
|
the area code you are check out. Now
|
|||
|
|
hold down the "D" key as soon as you
|
|||
|
|
finish dialing. (If you are using the
|
|||
|
|
SILVER BOX that I showed you how to
|
|||
|
|
make; Switch to SILVER BOX tones
|
|||
|
|
and hold down the "#" key.) The phone
|
|||
|
|
should start ringing and the operator
|
|||
|
|
will answer.
|
|||
|
|
If the operator screams at you to
|
|||
|
|
stop pressing your keypad, then hang
|
|||
|
|
up and try a diffrent areacode. (This
|
|||
|
|
one does not work.)
|
|||
|
|
If you get a pulsing tone the you got
|
|||
|
|
a good line! Now try out different
|
|||
|
|
numbers. 6 and 7 usually form a loop
|
|||
|
|
line and two people with SILVER
|
|||
|
|
BOXES can talk. But some of these
|
|||
|
|
are whatched, so DON'T say anything
|
|||
|
|
you wouldn't want your mother to
|
|||
|
|
hear!
|
|||
|
|
I have heard the 213 works but is
|
|||
|
|
being watched. Try out of the way
|
|||
|
|
states like Iowa, Monatana, Wyoming,
|
|||
|
|
ect...
|
|||
|

|
|
To all who dare --
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What is a BLACK BOX? A BLACK BOX
|
|||
|
|
is a device that is hooked up to your
|
|||
|
|
fone that fixes your fone so that when
|
|||
|
|
you get a call, the caller doesn't get
|
|||
|
|
charged for the call. This is good for
|
|||
|
|
calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour
|
|||
|
|
the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then
|
|||
|
|
you can guess what happens.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The way it works:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What this little beauty does is
|
|||
|
|
keep the line voltage from dropping to
|
|||
|
|
10v when you answer your fone. The
|
|||
|
|
line is insted kept at 36v and it will
|
|||
|
|
make the fone think that it is still
|
|||
|
|
ringing while your talking. The reason
|
|||
|
|
for the 1/2 hour time limit is that the
|
|||
|
|
Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong
|
|||
|
|
after 1/2 an hour of ringing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All parts are available Radio
|
|||
|
|
Shack. Using the least possible parts
|
|||
|
|
and arangement, the cost is $0.98 !!!!
|
|||
|
|
And that is parts for two of them!
|
|||
|
|
Talk about a deal! If you want to
|
|||
|
|
splurge then you can get a small PC
|
|||
|
|
board, and a switch. There are two
|
|||
|
|
schematics for this box, one is for
|
|||
|
|
most normal fones. The second one is
|
|||
|
|
for fones that don't work with the
|
|||
|
|
first. It was made for use with a Bell
|
|||
|
|
Trimline touch tone fone.

Once you have hooked up all the
|
|||
|
|
parts, you must figure out what set of
|
|||
|
|
wires go to the line and which go to
|
|||
|
|
the fone. This is because of the fact
|
|||
|
|
that LED's must be put in, in a certain
|
|||
|
|
direction. Depending on which way you
|
|||
|
|
put the LED is what controls what wires
|
|||
|
|
are for the line & fone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How to find out:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hook up the box in one direction
|
|||
|
|
using one set of wires for line and the
|
|||
|
|
other for fone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF.
|
|||
|
|
*NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be
|
|||
|
|
set to side connecting the led.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you have hooked it up, then
|
|||
|
|
pick up the fone and see if the LED is
|
|||
|
|
on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If
|
|||
|
|
is doesn't light then switch the wires
|
|||
|
|
and try again. Once you know which are
|
|||
|
|
which then label them. *NOTE* - If
|
|||
|
|
neither directions worked then your
|
|||
|
|
switch was in the wrong position. Now
|
|||
|
|
lable the switch in its current
|
|||
|
|
position as BOX ON.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How to use it:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The purpose of this box is not to
|
|||
|
|
poeple who call you so it would make
|
|||
|
|
sence that it can only be used to
|
|||
|
|
receive! calls. When the box is *ON*
|
|||
|
|
then you may only recieve calls. Your
|
|||
|
|
fone will ring like normal and the LED
|
|||
|
|
on the box will flash. If you answer
|
|||
|
|
the fone now, then the LED will
|
|||
|
|
light and the caller will not be charged.
|
|||
|
|
Hang up the fone after you are done
|
|||
|
|
talking like normal. You will not be
|
|||
|
|
able to get a dial-tone or call when
|
|||
|
|
the box is on, so turn the box *OFF*
|
|||
|
|
for normal calls. I don't recommend
|
|||
|
|
that you leave it on all the time, as
|
|||
|
|
you don't want it to answer when Ma
|
|||
|
|
Bell calls!
