- THE ABC'S OF PAYPHONES PART 1
-
- The information presented in this file is for entertainment purposes
- only. The authors of this file take no responsibility for any of its
- contents.
-
- The following text file is for AT&T & GTE payphones from 1982-1985. some
- things are different on gte phones, so additions are included for them.
-
- Section 1:The coin slot
-
- For every 5 cents you put in a phone, a sound is made. After you put
- the coins in the slot, they pass through a totalizer which counts them.
- They then collect in a hopper. To empty out the hopper, all you have to
- do is activate the coin relay. Payphones sometimes hold $100 or more.
- To activate the relay place 5 cents in the phone. Stick a magnet up the
- coin slot about 5 inches. Now remove the front panel of the phone. You
- will see a series of wires. Cut the red and green wires. Now in the
- front of the panel you will see three screws. Touch the green wire to
- the third screw. Better have a hat ready, because alot of change is
- gonna come flooding out. Isn't this fun?
-
- Section 2:free credits
-
- If you have a friend jn germany you need to call this section's for you.
- One of the cheap things about pay phones is they depend on tones to tell
- them you inserted money. Well if you have a red box these tones are
- easily duplicated, but i want to show you how do it without boxes in
- this file. Now Some things you need are... A set of screwdrivers. You will
- need both philips and flathead. Now open the front panel of the phone and cut
- the red and green wires. Take the cover off the top of the phone and insert 5
- cents. You should hear nothing. Find a green wire coming from the coin slot
- down to the hopper. Disconnect that wire. Now take off the case and you will
- see a small switch. Move the switch. This sets the totalizer backwards 1.
- Now put the hopper cover back on and reconnect the wire. Back to the front
- panel. Feel to the right of the two screws. You should feel 4 jumpers.
- 1 of the jumpers should be disconnected. Reconnect it. Now cut the top
- jumper. You should hear a loud pop. Now touch the green wire to the second
- screw. You will hear the sound of twenty five cents being inserted. You now
- have 30 cents credit. Repeat as many times as you need. Now reconnect the
- green wire and dial your number.
-
- GTE Notes:
- The green wire will be white. The red one will be blue. The totalizer
- is located at the bottem of the front panel.
-
- In part 2 we will show you how to take the payphone apart, and how to
- take one home.
