The BEIGE BOX Revisited
|
|
Article Written By: Mercenary
|
|
|
|
For years now, the only Instruction file I've seen for making your
|
|
own linemans handset is the File by The Exterminator and Terminal MAn.
|
|
There File is good, but if you follow there directions completely,
|
|
you trash a perfectly good phone.
|
|
The plans for the I.I.R.G.'s Beige Box are extremely simple and all
|
|
parts are available at your local Radio Shack. The cost of our phone
|
|
is extremely LOW as compared to actually purchasing a linemans handset
|
|
for the unheard of prices manufacturers ask, usually $65.00 to $300.00
|
|
in most catalogs I've seen.
|
|
Now, Heres your Parts list as Taken out of the 1992 Radio Shack
|
|
Catalog,Number 472.
|
|
|

|
Now I'm not saying you have to buy the Radio Shack phone, it just has
|
|
the features you will want, We grab ours at computer shows for $5.00
|
|
you may have a phone or can get it cheaper, Just get one with Re-dial,
|
|
Ringer on/off,switchable tone/pulse--You'll be glad you did in the long
|
|
run.

|
CONSTRUCTION:
|
|
|
|
1. Take the Mod To Mod, Pick a desired length from one end,
|
|
(We use 1 foot 2 inches) and cut the wire.
|
|
2. Now Carefully take a razor blade or knife and strip back two
|
|
inches of the gray wire covering, MAKING SURE NOT TO CUT
|
|
OR DAMAGE THE 4 WIRES INSIDE!!
|
|
3. Strip 1/4 inch covering off the GREEN and RED WIRE
|
|
4. You can either cut off the yellow and black or bend them back
|
|
for future use (We cut ours since you'll have enough left
|
|
over to make more)
|
|
5. Put Proper Size shrink tubing over wire down on to gray covering
|
|
6. Take the Green Alligator Clip, Solder the Green wire to the Green Clip
|
|
7. Take The Red Clip, Solder the Red wire to the Red Clip
|
|
8. Bring shrink tubing back up to cut end, place just over gray material
|
|
(1/4 Inch) and shrink with heat gun or hair dryer
|
|
9. Place Inline coupler on mod end of Gray cord, attach other end of
|
|
coupler to white wire mod end of phone.
|
|
10. Pat yourself on Back, you're done.
|
|
|
|
Now with our Beige Box, to use the Phone like normal just take off
|
|
inline coupler and plug phone in jack like normal.
|
|
To use it as a Beige Box, you just hook up coupler to phone and take
|
|
your trusty 7/16 Inch Hex driver (Available at Hardware Store,Sears,Caldors,
|
|
K-Mart,Got the Idea Yet?) And open up your local Green Tower or switcher
|
|
Hook Red Clip to "R" Ring terminal and Green Clip to "T" Tip terminal
|
|
and listen for Dial tone.
|
|
This is great for apartment buildings,condos,and hotels where
|
|
junction boxes are easily available on side of building or basements.
|
|
For more Hints on Uses, Read Exterminators and Terminal Mans File.
|
|
Note: Some junction boxes will be locked and cannot be opened with
|
|
7/16 Hex Driver, Don't forget your lockpicks.
