The BLAST Box Courtesy of the Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
Ever want to really make yourself be heard? Ever talk to someone on the phone
|
|
who just doesn't shut up? Or just call the operator and pop her eardrum? Well,
|
|
up until recently it has been impossible for you to do these things. That is,
|
|
unless of course you've got a blast box. All a blast box is, is a really cheap
|
|
amplifier, (around 5 watts or so) connected in place of the microphone on your
|
|
telephone. It works best on model 500 AT&T Phones, and if constructed small
|
|
enough, can be placed inside the phone.
|
|
|
|
Construction:
|
|
|
|
Construction is not really important. Well it is, but since I'm letting you make
|
|
your own amp, I really don't have to include this.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
Once you've built your blast box, simply connect a microphone (or use the
|
|
microphone from the phone) to the input of the amplifier, and presto. There it
|
|
is. Now, believe it or not, this device actually works. (At least on crossbar.)
|
|
It seems that Illinois bell switching systems allow quite alot of current to
|
|
pass right through the switching office, and out to whoever you're calling. When
|
|
you talk in the phone, it comes out of the other phone (again it works best if
|
|
the phone that you're calling has the standard western electric earpiece)
|
|
incredibly loud. This device is especially good for PBS Subscription drives.
|
|
Have "Phun", and don't get caught!
