A Line-mans phone, is really just a phone that you can use
|
||
anywhere. It has two alligator clips, that can be hooked into someones
|
||
phone junction box (He He), and you can make calls off of it. This is
|
||
a short tutorial of what you need to make one and how to do it.
|
||
|
||
First, you need a trimline phone. That is a phone where the dial
|
||
is in the handset. Pry off the plastic that covers the phone number
|
||
on the base. (The part with the bell in it is the base) There should
|
||
be two screws. Loosen them and take the plastic cover off of the base.
|
||
Find where the wire from the handset comes in. If it is a modular
|
||
phone (One with a small plastic plug), there should be a red and a
|
||
green wire connecting to a circiut board. If the phone is hard wired,
|
||
(Meaning there is no plug, the wires go right into the phone, the
|
||
color of the wires could be anything) Take the red and green wires,
|
||
(Or what ever color YOU have), and remove them from the screws. Next,
|
||
find where the line cord (The wire that comes from the wall) connects.
|
||
It should be to the same circuit board. Place the wires coming from the
|
||
handset on the wires that are coming from the wall. hook the red to
|
||
the red and the green to the green. You should hear a dial tone. Most
|
||
trimline phones do not need anything in the base to work. The base only
|
||
has the bell so it will ring.
|
||
|
||
Once you have confirmed a dial tone, and also that it dials, take
|
||
two alligator clips and hook one to each wire.( to the green and red
|
||
wires coming from the handset) If you phone is modular, take the
|
||
small modular outlet out of the phone base, and plug the handset
|
||
into that outlet, and hook the wires that used to be hooked to the
|
||
circut board, to the alligator clips.
|
||
|
||
One last test, clip one alligator clip to the red wire that
|
||
comes from the wall, and hook one to the green wire that comes from
|
||
the wall. You should hear a dial tone and you should be able to
|
||
dial out. Wrap these alligator clips in electrical tape and you are all
|
||
set. You can invade a junction box anywhere and make some calls!!
|
||
This will work with a rotary phone or a push button phone. This is
|
||
a good way to get back at someone you do not like. Make a call to
|
||
England off of his box outside and he will get the bill.
