- PLANS FOR:

- Here is our disclaimer. We do not condone the use of this device...it
- is illegal to use it in a manner such as the one described. We hold
- no responsibility for your actions with or without this device.
- yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda....let's just get to the phile.
-
- You're probably asking yourself "what the hell is a maroon box?"
- Plain and simple...it is a box that should have been made years ago.
- Originally it wasn't a box....but since we changed the idea...and
- made it more compact...we made it a box. The maroon box allows you to
- place your call--from someone else's line of course--from a distance...
- that way you don't have to stand there with a beige box and a phone
- cord hanging off of it and into a phone box when someone drives by.
- First I will provide the plans and then a complete description of its
- use and posibilities.
-
- First, go get yourself a cordless phone (the smaller the better) at a
- garage sale--make sure it works. Open the base unit up and take out
- all the stuff inside--keep it intact. Now if you found a reasonably
- small cordless the pile of electronics you pulled out should fit
- comfortably into the palm of your hand. Get yourself an empty coke
- can...use a can opener or the like, to cut out the top of the can
- where the drinking hole is. With any luck you will wash and dry the
- inside of the can. Place the ball of electronincs into the can. Now
- rig a line with aligator clips...just like you would if you were using
- a beige box....By now you are probably wondering what you are going to
- do about the little power cord and transformer that are also attached
- to the little bundle.....there are a few possibilities.
-
- 1)look at the manufactuer's marking on the case of the phone...and
- the transformer...find the voltage the phone uses...usually around
- 6 volts or so...now go buy/steal (whatever you do) a battery that is
- the same voltage that the base unit uses. Connect it to the base unit
- end of story...but the second one is better.
- 2)if you prefer a more permanent arrangement you can hard wire the
- power from the house along with the phone wires.(more on this
- later). Well there you have it, simple isn't it. Now let me
- explain about it.
-
- Now here is the deal. if you haven't already figured it out by now
- the maroon box lets you wire up to the phone and then sit in a car
- or whatever a distance away...so you don't look suspicious when you
- are standing next to a building with a phone and a wire that is
- pluged into another house. You can walk up, clip on, leave you coke
- can there, walk a little ways off and use the handset to make a call.
- On the other hand, if you want to make it permanent you can forget
- the can and try to stuff the entire ball of electronics into the
- little grey phone box on the side of the person's house...WARNING...
- when they find out that you have a 3 hour call to a 900# to get your
- jollies, they will call ma bell and ma bell will check they're box,
- finding your little addidtion....but for a five dollar cordless at a
- garage sale..who can complain....and if you are smart about it, you
- might be able to get away with it for a long time.
-
- The name for this box came from the fact that it remotely resembles
- the color of the coke can in which you place it.
-
- That wraps up this phile...you're welcome! Credit for this work of art
- goes out to ME...aka Dial-Tone...feel free to post this..unchanged
- and as it is. !!!LOOK FOR SOME MORE PHILES FROM THIS NEW AUTHOR AND
- THIS NEW GROUP SOON!!!
