Section 1:how to open a payphone



An Atlantic Bell payphone is a heavily armored device. It is designed

to withstand attempted theft and damage. But as we found out in part 1,

we don't need to get through all the armor to phreak it. All we need to

do is get to the wiring which is all located behind 3 easy to remove

panels. All that holds the front panel on is 3 or 4 bolts. Just apply

sulfuric acid and in ten minutes or less they will come right out.

While you are waiting remove the other panels. The top panel is held on

by two tight nuts. A good pair of pliers will remove them. Now the

back panel is the hardest to remove. It is held together by a semi-

permanent solution. On the newer AT&T credit and pay phones, an alarm

goes off when the back panel is removed. The circuitry for it is

located in the top panel. Look for a round box with 4 wires coming out.

Cut the first and second ones. Now use sulfuric acid, wait ten minutes

and lift it off.



Section 2:How to steal a payphone



Ever wanted to have your own payphone? It's not very hard to steal one.

As a matter of fact, it is easy to rip one out of the wall, but I want

to show you how to take one home intact. Anyone traveling to Toronto

should stop by to see MR. C0SMOS' collection of payphones. He has them

set up and working. Stealing payphones is very dangerous. Much more

than phone boxing. Do not steal more than one from an area. They

sometimes know immediately when it's gone, so get the hell out of there.

The inside of it is heavily armored. If you are taking it for the

money, you will need a full set of philips & flathead screwdrivers,

sulfuric acid, a crowbar, a sledgehammer, bolt cutters, and probably

more. Now you can take it home and pound on it, or you can use the easy

way we showed you in part one.



In part 3 we will show you how to wire it up when you get it home and

alot of other stuff.
