HOW TO BUILD AND USE A RED BOX......
=<COURTESY OF -<U.N>->=
=<TYPED BY THE MASTER >=
----------------------
THE RED BOX BASICALLY SIMULATES THE SOUND OF COINS BEING DROPPED INTO THE COIN
SLOT OF A PAY TELEPHONE. A PAY TELEPHONE GENERATES A BURST OF TWO MIXED FREQUENC
IES, 1700 HZ AND 2200 HZ, FOR A SPECIFIC TIME INTERVAL TO DENOTE A NICKLR, DIME,
OR QUARTER. A NICKLE IS 1700 HZ +2200 HZ FOR 66 MILLISECONDS. A DIME IS 1700 HZ
+ 2200 HZ FOR 66 MILLI. SECS. 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.
WHEN USING A RED BOX ON A PAY PHONE, FIRST DEPOSIT A REAL NICKLE (BECAUSE T
HEY CAN TELL IF THE FIRST ONE IS A REAL ONE OR JUST A TONE), THEN USE THE TONE B
URST. YOU CAN BUILD THE CIRCUIT TO GENERATE A NICKLE TONE, THEN RECORD IT AND PL
AY IT INTO THE PAY PHONE WITH A WALKMAN CASETTE PLAYER.
