HOW TO BUILD AND USE A MAGENTA BOX.
|
||
|
||
Designed and Written by Street Fighter.
|
||
|
||
First of all I named this the Magenta Box because all of the
|
||
fags that made boxes, whose only purpose is adding a hold
|
||
button to your phone, used all of the fucking colors. I can
|
||
afford a fucking piece of shit Radio Shack 2-line phone with
|
||
hold. A box's purpose is to mess with the Telco., not to add
|
||
a fucking hold button to your phone. Anyway I will get on with
|
||
this.
|
||
|
||
PARTS LIST:
|
||
SPDT Miniature PC RELAY (about 9v, 500 ohm)
|
||
DPDT Miniature PC RELAY (about 6v, 500 ohms, 12 mA)
|
||
2000 or so uF electrolytic capacitor
|
||
1 meg resistor
|
||
.01 uF capacitor
|
||
2 555 timer chip
|
||
2 diodes (1N914)
|
||
10 K resistor
|
||
1 K resistor
|
||
9 volt battery -w- clip
|
||
Pc Board
|
||
4 alligator clips
|
||
some kind of a box (small)
|
||
some 20 or 22 gauge wire to work with.
|
||
|
||
If you don't know how to put together a project by looking at a
|
||
schematic, then isn't the project to start with. I would ask someone
|
||
with some electronics knowledge to give you a helping hand. This
|
||
has to be put together on a pc-board.
|
||
Enough talk, now the schematic:

Whew! Well, the schematic explains almost everything. It would be
|
||
helpful to you if you used one color for the line #1 clips and another
|
||
for the line #2 clips. It will work even if you get the ring and tip
|
||
mixed up, but you must get all of the clips on the right line. But,
|
||
to be safe, you could put tags on each clip labeling it RING #1, TIP #2,
|
||
ect.
|
||
|
||
Installation. Find one of those green posts that are about 3 feet high.
|
||
They are everywhere. Get a socket wrench to open it up. There will
|
||
be (a) row(s) of paired up posts. Each pair of posts represents a line.
|
||
YOU *MUST* KNOW THE NUMBER OF LINE #1. Sometimes the number is tagged
|
||
on to the pair of wires leading up to the posts, if so pick these posts
|
||
as your line #1. Then you can pick any other set of posts for line #2.
|
||
|
||
Now to the good part. Use of the the final product. When you call up
|
||
line one from your house you will get a dial tone almost immediately.
|
||
Using DTMF you can dial anywhere that the person who owns line 2 has
|
||
service to. Which means you can direct dial alliance, Australia, and
|
||
your favorite BBS for FREE.
|
||
|
||
The Telco. will undoubtably discover the device after 2 days, so post
|
||
the number on your favorite boards so you can abuse it while it is in
|
||
service. With a 2000 uF capacitor and a 1 meg resistor you will
|
||
get a 50 minute call before it disconnects you. By lowering the value
|
||
of the resistor and capacitor you can change the time to your taste.
|
||
So don't dial a wrong number, because you will have to wait 50 minutes
|
||
until it resets again. The formula for the time is the following:
|
||
|
||
2*R1 C1 C1 is in microfarads
|
||
---- * ---- R1 is in Kohms
|
||
100 10 See schematic for location of R1 and C1.
|
||
----------- = Minutes
|
||
60
|
||
|
||
The time produced by this formula is only approximate.
|
||
|
||
Well, that is one of the more complicated boxes to build. But it
|
||
is very useful and will pay for itself with its first use. It
|
||
would be wise to remove it before the Telco. finds it so you won't
|
||
have to make another, or install it on a line that belongs to a
|
||
family that is on vacation (GOOD IDEA)
|
||
|
||
Well, there it is. I hope it saves you a lot of cash.
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you wish to have one built for you. Leave me E-mail on the Iron Curtain
|
||
or the CornerStone or any other board I frequent. It won't be more than $15,
|
||
hopefully it will only be about $8.
