-
- Well our mail boxes having been filling up with questions regarding this
- series. We will answer them all in future files.
-
- Ok, now you have your payphone home. What do you do with it. Well, if
- you want to make it work, you need to run up a five prong cable from
- the phone line in your basement. The outlet in the wall won't work.
- Now, a two inch hole at the left front of it. Remove the back panel
- (as described in part 1) and disconnect the wires coming out of it.
- You will see them coming from silver screws. Disconnect them all. Now
- make sure you know which screws they came from.
-
- Now for some explaining. You could just wire it up with the existing
- wires, but then it will make tones, so we are going to rewire it.
-
- You will need 10 heavy duty 7 inch wires for the next part.
-
- If you don't want it to accept money, skip this part.
-
- Take the 12 O'clock screw and connect it to the screw at the bottom of
- the totalizer. You will have to push it through, then take the top
- off, and connect it. Connect the 2 O'clock screw to the green wire on
- the silver box. Just cut the green wire from the box and connect them.
-
- Ok, now this is the part that makes them work. Take the silver box
- which is hanging loose now (make sure the wires attached already don't
- come loose), and attach your 10 wires to the screws on the phone. Now
- starting at the left top of the silver box, hook the wires on counter
- clockwise starting with 3 O'clock, excluding 12, 2, 2:30, and 4.
-
- Now run the cable up through the bottom, and hook it to the front of the
- silver box. It should now work.
-
- Ok, now to answer a question. A MAD! reader wants to know if you could
- trip the totalizer using a wire stuck up the coin slot.
-
- MR. C0SMOS answers that it would be very hard because of the bends
- involved, and metal in the way. You might be able to if you used a
- non-magnetic, very small, bendable rod. Just keep going up, until you
- encounter a small lever, then move it. It would take alot of patience.
-
- Watch for part 4 soon.
