Silver Box ------ --- Tools: 1 Soldering Iron 1 Standard Bell Telephone 1 Foot Of 22 Gauge Wire 1 Single Pole Doub. Throw Switch 1 Flat Headed Screw Driver Uses: The Purpose Of A Silver Box Is To Blow The Information Operators Off The Line Through Fourth Column Tones. You And A Friend Can Call Up The Operator And Blow Her Off The Line With A D Tone. One Of You Dial 6 And The Other 7 And You Connect. You Can Fuck Up The International Timers With The C Tone. Directions: 1: Unscrew Your Phone. Remove The Telephone Case. 2: Remove The Mounted Pad By Loosening The Screws On The Mount Of This Pad Now Remove The Plastice Cover On The Pad. 3: Turn The Pads So That The 0,*,# Is Facing You. Now Turn It Upside Down So You Can See The Pc Board. 4: Now You Should Be Looking At 2 Black Donuts. 5: Position The Board So That The Solder Points From Left And Attach A Green Wire To That Point. 6: Go Over 4 Points From The Left And Attach A Green Wire To That Point. 7: Between You And The Donuts, There Should Be 2 Long Yellow Capacitors To The Right Of These, And On The Edge Of The Board Should Be 3 Soldering Contacts We Will Use The One On The Left. 8: The Contact Is Origionally Spot Welded, So Snip It Open. The One Nearest You Attach A Red Wire. To The Other One, A Yellow Wire. 9: Now Cut A Small Hole In The Top Of Your Telephone And Insert The Single Pole Double Throw Switch In That Hole. 10: Run The Wires To The Switch And Solder The Switch. The Orientation Should Be Red To The Center, The Switch Will Now Alternate Between Normal And 1633 Hx Fourth Column Tones. Set Up: 1 2 3 A 4 5 6 B 7 8 9 C * 0 # D This Is Set Up With The Switch. Introduction ============ The Lunch Box Is A Very Simple Transmitter Which Can Be Handy For All Sorts Of Things. It Is Quite Small And Can Easily Be Put In A Number Of Places. I Have Successfully Used It For Tapping Fones, Getting Inside Info, Blackmail And Other Such Things. The Possibilities Are Endless. I Will Also Include The Plans For An Equally Small Receiver For Your Newly Made Toy. Use It For Just About Anything. You Can Also Make The Transmitter And Receiver Together In One Box And Use It As A Walkie Talkie. Materials You Will Need ======================= (1) 9 Volt Battery With Battery Clip (1) 25-Mfd, 15 Volt Electrolytic Capacitor (2) .0047 Mfd Capacitors (1) .022 Mfd Capacitor (1) 51 Pf Capacitor (1) 365 Pf Variable Capacitor (1) Transistor Antenna Coil (1) 2N366 Transistor (1) 2N464 Transistor (1) 100K Resistor (1) 5.6K Resistor (1) 10K Resistor (1) 2Meg Potentiometer With Spst Switch Some Good Wire, Solder, Soldering Iron, Board To Put It On, Box (Optional) Schematic For The Lunch Box =========================== [This May Get A Tad Confusing But Just Print It Out And Pay Attention.

[ Notes About The Schematic ========================= 1. Gnd Means Ground 2. The Gnd Near The Switch And The Gnd By The 2Meg Potentiometer Should Be Connected 3. Where You See: )( () )( It Is The Transistor Antenna Coil With 15 Turns Of Regular Hook-Up Wire Around It. 4. The Middle Of The Loop On The Left Side (The Left Of "()") You Should Run A Wire Down To The "+" Which Has Nothing Attached To It. There Is A .0047 Capacitor On The Correct Piece Of Wire. 5. For The Microphone Use A Magnetic Earphone (1K To 2K). 6. Where You See "[!]" Is The Antenna. Use About 8 Feet Of Wire To Broadcast Approx 300Ft. Part 15 Of The Fcc Rules And Regulation Says You Can'T Broadcast Over 300 Feet Without A License. (Hahaha). Use More Wire For An Antenna For Longer Distances. (Attach It To The Black Wire On The Fone Line For About A 250 Foot Antenna!) Operation Of The Lunch Box ========================== This Transmitter Will Send The Signals Over The Am Radio Band. You Use The Variable Capacitor To Adjust What Freq. You Want To Use. Find A Good Unused Freq. Down At The Lower End Of The Scale And You'Re Set. Use The 2 Meg Pot. To Adjust Gain. Just Screw With It Until You Get What Sounds Good. The Switch On The 2Meg Is For Turning The Lunch Box On And Off. When Everything Is Adjusted, Turn On An Am Radio Adjust It To Where You Think The Signal Is. Have [A Friend Say Some Shit Thru The Box And Tune In To It. That'S All There Is To It. The Plans For A Simple Receiver Are Shown Below: The Lunch Box Receiver ====================== (1) 9 Volt Battery With Battery Clip (1) 365 Pf Variable Capacitor (1) 51 Pf Capacitor (1) 1N38B Diode (1) Transistor Antenna Coil (1) 2N366 Transistor (1) Spst Toggle Switch (1) 1K To 2K Magnetic Earphone [Schematic For Receiver ====================== [!] ! 51 Pf ! +----+----+ ! ! ) 365 Pf (----+ ! ) ! ! +---------+---Gnd ! +---*>!----Base Collector----- [ Diode 2N366 Earphone Emitter +----- ! !

Using [These Devices In Illegal Ways Is Your Option. If You Get Caught, I Accept No Responsibility For Your Actions. This Can Be Alot Of Fun If Used Correctly. Hook It Up To The Red Wire (I Think) On The Fone Line And It Will Send The Conversation Over The Air Waves. If You Have Any Problems Or Are Confused, Leave Me Mail On:Hi-Times=702/832/7469 This Is A Most Unusual Project; We Are Going To Mount A Sensitive Microphone Behind A Series Of Acoustic Wave Guides And Hope For The Best. Actually, Our Wave Guides Are Aluminum Tubes Cut To Resonate At Frequencies Near The Human Voice Range. This Arrangement Also Serves To Make The Unit Highly Directional As Sound Other Than That Arriving At The Mouth Of The Tubes Arrives At The Mic In An Out-Of-Phase Condition And Cancels Itself Out. With This Easily Constructed Device It Is Possible (Under Ideal Conditions) To Pick Up Conversations Several Hundred Feet Away, In Fact, Reports Of Recording Conversations Up To 30 Yards Away Through A Closed Window Have Been Made... The Device Is Quite Easy To Construct: First Get Together The Following Materials: [1] 56' Of 3/8" Outside Diameter Aluminum Tubing (Hardware Stores) [2] 1 Sensitive Amplifier With Operating Paraphenalia [3] 1 Sensitive Microphone Element - Use Either A Good Condenser Or A Crystal, As Their Outputs Tend To Be A Bit Higher Than Their Dynamic Counterparts. [4] 1 Funnel [5] Assorted Small Hardware Cut The Tubing Into 37 Pieces Ranging From 1" Through 36" In One Inch Divisions. Now Bundle Them Together Symmetrically With One End Flush (As Shown). As You Assemble Them, Blue Them Together In Several Places To Assure They Remain In The State You Have Put Them In (Were It Only So Easy With People...). Ooo Ooooo Ooooooo Ooooooooo Ooooooooo Ooooooooo Ooooooo Ooooo Ooo Flush Ends Of Tubes Take The Funnel And Fit It Around The Flush End Of The Tube Bundle. Being Astute Enough To Read This, I Am Sure You Will Notice The Tubes Do Not Exactly Fit Into The Funnel. At This Realization, Take A Small Hammer And Beat The Funnel To Nearly As Possible. Now Fill The Remaining Spaces With A Good Rubber Based Caulking Compound. The Microphone Element Is Placed In The Neck Of The Funnel (With A Rubber Grommet If It Is Small Enough To Fit Up Into The Neck - Otherwise Set It Into The Other End Of The Neck Before Caulking The Tubing In Place). Glue The Mic Into Place And Caulk Any Air Space Around It. Run The Microphone Wires Out The Neck Of The Funnel, Glue In Place, And Also Caulk To Give It A Closed, Fairly Air Invincible Seal Around The Entire Unti. If You Really Feel Up To It, Fiberglass Resin Can Be Used Instead Of Caulking Compound. M ### I ### \ C ### \ ### \_________# Wire E ### #______ L => ### Funnel # E ### _________# M ### / ^ E ### / Grommet N ### / T ###/ Run The Output Wires To Your Amplifier And Place The Entire Unit On Some Sort Of Support, A Camera Tripod Being Ideal. (Need I Remind You To Check Matching Impedances?). The Unit Should Be Aimed At The Subject And Then Panned About For Maximum Volume (Sound Does Not Travel In A Straight Line, But May Vary With Wind, Etc). If Wind Noise Overrides Your Target Noise You Can Place A Piece Of Cheesecloth Across The End Of The Unit. If A Particularly Difficult Noise Interferes With Your Pick-Up You Can Often Plug Up The Tube(S) Carrying This Noise With A Cork. The Clear Box The Clear Box Is A New Device Which Has Just Been Invented That Can Be Used Throughout Canada And Rural U.S. The Clear Box Works On "Post Pay" Payphone (Fortress Phones). Those Are The Payphone That Don'T Require Payment Until After The Connection Is Established. You Pick Up The Phone, Get A Dial Tone, Dial Your Number, And Then Insert Your Money After The Person Answers. If You Don'T Deposit The Money Then You Can Not Speak To The Person On The Other End- Because Your Mouth Piece Is Cut Off, But, Not The Ear Piece. (Obviously These Phones Are Good For Free Calls To Weather Or Time Or Other Other Such Recordings) All You Must Do Is Go To Your Nearby Radio Shack, Or Electronics Store, And Get A Four-Transistor Amplifier And A Telephone Suction Cup Induction Pick-Up. The Induction Pick-Up Would Be Hooked Up As It Normally Would To Record A Conversation, Except That It Would Be Plugged Into The Output Of The Amplifier And A Microphone Would Be Hooked To The Input. So When The Party That Is Being Called Answers, The Caller Could Speak Through The Little Microphone Instead. His Voice Then Goes Through The Amplifier And Out The Induction Coil, And Into The Back Of The Reciever Where It Would Then Be Broadcast Through The Phone! Lines And The Other Party Would Be Able To Hear The Caller. The Clear Box Thsu 'Clears Up' The Problem Of Not Being Heard. Luckily, The Line Will Not Be Cut-Off After A Certain Amount Of Time Because It Will Wait Forever For The Coins To Be Put In. The Biggest Advantage For All Of Us About This New Clear Box Is The Fact That This Type Of Payphone Willl Most Likely Become Very Common Due To A Few Things: 1: It Is A Cheap Way Of Getting The Dtf, Dial-Tone-Service 2: It Doesn'T Require Any Special Equipment,(For The Phone Company) 3: This Payphone Will Work On Any Phone Line. Usually A Payphone Line Is Different, But This Is A Regular Phone Line And It Is Set Up So The Phone Does All The Charging, Not The Company. File: Detecting Phone Bugs Bug Detection On Home Phones First Of All To Test For Bugs, You Need A Vom (Multimeter) The Higher The Impedance The Better (A Digital With Fet Circuitry Or A Vacuum Tube Volt Meter Is The Best). First Disconnect The Phone Line(S) At Both Ends. Undo The Phone Instrument And Hook It Up To The Entry Point Of The Phone Line From The Outside World (Ma Bell Does Not Like You Cut Her Off Completely.) The Scheme Is The Physi- Cally Isolate Your House, Apartment, Etc From The Outside World. But Before You Do This Measure The Line Voltage (It Should Be Approximately 48 Volts). Now With The Wires Disconnected At Both Set Your Resistance Scal To A High Reading And Measure The Resistance Of The Phone Line, It Should Be Very High On The Order Of Million Ohms Or More, This Is The Normal Condition, Since You Are Measuring The Resistance Of An Open Circuit. If It Is Much Less, Say 50-100Kohms Then You A Device On The Line That Does Not Belong There, Probably A Parallel Bug. Now Twist The End Of The Disconnected Wire And Go To The Other End And Measure The Resistance Of This. This Resistance Should Be About One Ohm Or Two At The Most In A Big House With A Lot Of Phones. If It Is More, Then You Probably Have A Series Bug. If In The First Case, Taking Parallel Measurements Using A Meter (Not Led/ Lcd) And You Notice A "Kick" In The Needle, You Probably Have A Line Tap Now If You Also Make A Measurement With The Wire End Twisted Together And You Notice The Resistance Reads About 1-2Kohms, Then You May Have A Drop-Out Relay. A Drop-Out Relay Is A Relay That Senses A Phone Going Off Hook, And Signals A Tape Recorder To Start Recording. Another Test To Do With The Phones Still Hooked Up To The Outside World, On Hook Voltage Is About 48 Volts And Off Hook Is About 6-10 Volts. Any Other Con- Ditions May Mean Telephone Surveillance. If You Use A Wide Range Audio Frequency Generator And Call You House, Apartment, Etc. From Another Phone And Sweep Up And Down The Spectrum, And You Notice The Phone Answers Itself Somewhere In The Sweep You Probably Have An Infinity Transmitter On Your Line. The Above Information Tells Nothing About Telco Taps At The Central Office, Or Anywhere Else Along The Line, But This Information May Tell You That Your Wife, Girlfriend(Boyfriend), Or Business Associate May Be Monitoring Your Phone Activities. An Infinity Transmitter Is A Neat Device It Allows You To Call The Bugged Place And It Shuts Off The Ringer And Defeats The Switchhook, So The Mouthpiece Now Becomes A Room Bug. It Was Orginally Sold From The Travelling Business Man To Make Sure His Wife Was Safe At Home Not Being Attacked (Or Fucking Her Boyfriend Behind His Back). *************************************** $$$$$$$$$$-=>Making Your Phone<=-$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$-=>Into A Cheesebox <=-$$$$$$ /= Distributed By: <The Black Chamber Bbs> [612] 331-5678 Call: The Safehouse <612> 724-7066 Mines Of Moria, West <408> 688-9629 East <713> 871-8577 Sherwodd Forest <212> 896-6036 Sherwood Fprest Ii <914> 359[Hold]######-1517 A Cheesebox(Named For The Type Ofbox The First One Was Found In)Is A Type Of Box Which Will, In Effect, Make Your Telephone A Pay-Phone.....This Is A Simple,Modernized, And Easy Way Of Doing It....

A Pay Telephone Generates A Burst Of Two Mixed Frequencies, 1700 Hz And 2200 Hz, For A Specfic Time Interval To Denote A Nickle, Dime, Or Quarter. A Nickle Is 7700 Hz + 2200 Hz For 66 Milliseconds. A Dime Is 1700 Hz + 2200 Hz For 66 Ms On, 66 Ms Off, Then 66 Ms On Again. Finally, A Quarter Is 1700 Hz + 2200 Hz For 33 Ms On, 33 Ms Off, Continuosly Repeating For 5 Times.

The Easiest Way To Tune The Box Is To Play Both It And A Sample Of The True Sound Together, Then Adjust The Box Until Only 1 Note Can Be Heard. As Inaccurate As This Sounds, This Is More Than Accurate Enough For The Fone Company. The Apple With An Apple Cat Modem, The Atari, The Commodore, And The Texas Instruments Can All Generate The Needed Tones. These Plans Are Based On A Set Of Plans I (Ford Prefect) Received Two Years Ago. They Were Almost Illegible And The Power Supply Included Outdated Parts. The Total Cost Is Slightly Above $50 But When Properly Assembled It Will Work Perfectly. (These Plans Have Been Field Tested!)
