+ Brown box phone mod. +

---------------------------------------
This is a fairly simple modification
that can be made to any phone. All it
does is allow you to take any 2 lines
in your house and create a party line.
So far I have not heard of any problems
with it from my friends that have set
one up and I have not had any either.
There is one thing that you will notice
when you are one of the two people who
is called by a person with this box.
The other person will sound a little
bit faint. I could overcome this with
some amplifiers but then there wouldn't
be very many of these boxes made.
I think that the convenience of having
two people on line at any one time will
make up for the minor volume loss.
Here is the diagram:
---------------------------------------
In some houses the black and yellow are
already wired in others you will have
to go out to your box and rewire it.
A good way to figure out which line is
which is to take the phone you are
looking for off the hook. Then you
only need to take the red and green
wires entering your phone and hook them
to the different pairs of red and green
going into the house. You can't hurt
anything in the phone or telephone by
probeing. When you find the pair that
you want take the black from your line
and attach it to the red of the other
line then take the yellow and attach it
to the green line. Now you are all set
to go. For people with rotary phones
you can have one person call you then
place the second call out to the other
person.
