Intro
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
The Chartreuse Box, so named because this is an obnoxious box
|
||
and chartreuse is an obnoxious color, is designed to take
|
||
advantage of the thousands of dollars Ma Bell pays to the electric
|
||
company each day. As you know, your telephone line is a constant
|
||
power source. The chart box is designed to allow you to tap that
|
||
power source for whatever sicko purposes you might have in mind.
|
||
|
||
Parts
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
[1]- 1 four prong to modular phone adapter (the rectangular beige
|
||
boxes with phone line jacks at one end and four prongs out
|
||
the other.)
|
||
[2]- 1 low power broad range rheostate.
|
||
[3]- some wire
|
||
[4]- a soldering iron
|
||
[5]- some electric tape
|
||
[6]- a 70 vlt. DC fuse (optional)
|
||
[7]- 1 SPST switch
|
||
|
||
Assembly
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
Plug the adapter into a phone line, and use a multitester to
|
||
note which posts are charged. Use a magic marker to mark the
|
||
positive and negative poles. Do this first.
|
||
Take the adapter, and turn it upside down. You should
|
||
observe that the bottom fits into the top. Use a pocketknife,
|
||
small screwdriver, battle axe etc. to remove the bottom. Don't
|
||
break it.
|
||
Detach the two wires not connected to charged poles, and
|
||
scrap em. Detach the other two wires as well. Take your
|
||
rheostat, and mount it on the outside of the box, drilling a small
|
||
hole in the box, to run wires through.
|
||
Run wire from the charged connections from the line jack,
|
||
through the rheostat, to the charged poles. (see diagram).

|

[=]- Outside posts
|
||
|
||
Attach the fuse somewhere in the line if you feel like it.
|
||
When the phone rings 90 volts of pulsing DC power get shot down
|
||
your line, and can really fuck up whatever you have the chart box
|
||
hooked up to. Therefore, the fuse is a good idea.
|
||
You can also hook a switch up to the wiring, to give you more
|
||
control over when power starts to flow. Once all the wiring is
|
||
complete, push the wires and the fuse into the casing, and reclose
|
||
it. Then tape around the side of the box, to hold the wires that
|
||
come out to the rheostat down. I highly recommend that you mark
|
||
the charged posts with a marker, so you can easily identify them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
To use the chart box, hook it up to a phone line, and grab a
|
||
multitester or voltmeter. Use the voltmeter to read off the
|
||
voltage from your chart box. You can get up to 12 volts (more if
|
||
you use a transformer) from the box, but you can use the rheostat
|
||
to calibrate the box for whatever voltage you need. Once the
|
||
voltage is set, remove the box from the line, hook your device up
|
||
to the charged poles, and plug the box back in. If you're really
|
||
in a constructive mood, build a switch into the box. Now leech Ma
|
||
Bell's precious energy to your hearts content.

||
Footnote
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
This device has other potential uses. One of the most
|
||
obvious, and least useful (at least to my view) is as a volume
|
||
control for your phone. Maybe you have an aunt that talks REAL
|
||
LOUD!!!!! Also, you can use this device to set up a feedback
|
||
loop to mess up someone else's phone line. Finally, it may be
|
||
possible to use the chart box to tone down your connection, and
|
||
provide a little background noise, so that ESS doesn't pick up on
|
||
your blue boxing. This is not a guaranteed method, but if you do
|
||
it just right, you can make the 2600 blast sneak by the ESS
|
||
detection code.
|
||
Naturally, the main purpose of the chart box is to leech Ma
|
||
Bell just like she leeches you.
