|
Well our mail boxes having been filling up with questions regarding this
|
|
series. We will answer them all in future files.
|
|
|
|
Ok, now you have your payphone home. What do you do with it. Well, if
|
|
you want to make it work, you need to run up a five prong cable from
|
|
the phone line in your basement. The outlet in the wall won't work.
|
|
Now, a two inch hole at the left front of it. Remove the back panel
|
|
(as described in part 1) and disconnect the wires coming out of it.
|
|
You will see them coming from silver screws. Disconnect them all. Now
|
|
make sure you know which screws they came from.
|
|
|
|
Now for some explaining. You could just wire it up with the existing
|
|
wires, but then it will make tones, so we are going to rewire it.
|
|
|
|
You will need 10 heavy duty 7 inch wires for the next part.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want it to accept money, skip this part.
|
|
|
|
Take the 12 O'clock screw and connect it to the screw at the bottom of
|
|
the totalizer. You will have to push it through, then take the top
|
|
off, and connect it. Connect the 2 O'clock screw to the green wire on
|
|
the silver box. Just cut the green wire from the box and connect them.
|
|
|
|
Ok, now this is the part that makes them work. Take the silver box
|
|
which is hanging loose now (make sure the wires attached already don't
|
|
come loose), and attach your 10 wires to the screws on the phone. Now
|
|
starting at the left top of the silver box, hook the wires on counter
|
|
clockwise starting with 3 O'clock, excluding 12, 2, 2:30, and 4.
|
|
|
|
Now run the cable up through the bottom, and hook it to the front of the
|
|
silver box. It should now work.
|
|
|
|
Ok, now to answer a question. A MAD! reader wants to know if you could
|
|
trip the totalizer using a wire stuck up the coin slot.
|
|
|
|
MR. C0SMOS answers that it would be very hard because of the bends
|
|
involved, and metal in the way. You might be able to if you used a
|
|
non-magnetic, very small, bendable rod. Just keep going up, until you
|
|
encounter a small lever, then move it. It would take alot of patience.
|
|
|
|
Watch for part 4 soon.
