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.
