- 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!
