(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)

The Crimson Box is very simple device

that will allow you to put someone on

hold or make your fone busy with a

large amount of ease. You flip a switch

and the person can't hear you talking.

Flip it back and everything is peechy.

(*)   Needed Materials  (*)

(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)

[

(1) 100 ohm or less resistor

(1) SPDT toggle switch, On-On

(3) feet of good wire

Wire cutters

Solder and soldering iron

(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)

First I will give you the schematic and

then I will explain what the hell is

going on.

[-----------black wire on line---------

--------+   red wire on line   +------

--------!--+/\/\/-green wire---!------

--------!--! yellow wire-------!------

        !  !                   !

        +--!------+            !

           +----+ ! +----------+

                ! ! !

                1 2 3

Ok. The '/\/\/' is the resistor. And

'1 2 3' is the switch where the numbers

are the poles on the switch. Notice you

leave the black and yellow wires alone.

You DO NOT cut them!

[

Strip the red and green wires so you've

got about an inch of bare wire. Solder

some of the extra wire and follow the

schematic. You should have the resistor

on the green wire with an extra piece

of wire coming from one leg of it. The

other leg goes to the other end of the

green wire. You should solder the green

wire to the left pole of the switch and

the red to the middle and the other

end of the red to the right pole.

Now, lift up the phone. If all you get

is an annoying buzz then throw the

[switch and you should get a dial tone.

If not, don't worry and just follow the

instructions and schematic again.
