I`m writhing this because someone might want to build one of these things and the files I have read e out dated..
So get the soldering iron out and lets get to work.

Converting a Tone Dialer into a Red Box
=======================================

by Canon

Things you will need.

A 6.5536 Mhz crystal (Newark Electronics part # 76F841)
There phone # (317)844-0047 Fax # (317)844-0165 Price is $3.43
A 33-Number tone dialer (Radio Shack part # 43-146) $24.99
A SPDT switch (Radio Shack part #275-625) #2.99
3 AAA batteries (Radio Shack part #23-555) $1.79 *2 per pack*
A short piece of phone wire (Approx. 4" long) laying around
A tube of 5 minute epoxy (Any hardware store) $2.99

A very simple modification to Radio Shack pocket tone dialer can make it into a red box. The modifation consists of
changing the crystal frequency used to generate the microprocessor's
timing. To make this modification you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a
flat bladed screwdriver, a soldering iron, a pair of long nose pliers, a
pair of wire cutters,a short piece of phone wire(approx. 4 in.) and a 6.5536 Mhz (megahertz) crystal
Orient the dialer with the keypad down and the speaker at the top.
Remove the battery compartment cover (and any batteries) to expose four
screws. Remove these four screws and the two on the top of the dialer near
the speaker. There are four plastic clips that are now holding the two
halves of the dialer together. Push on the two bottom clips near the
battery compartment and pull up to separate the bottom part. Now slide a
flat screwdriver into the seam on the left starting from the bottom and
moving towards the top. (You may have to do this on the aright side as
well.)

When the two halves separate, slide the speaker half underneath the
other half while being careful not to break the wires connecting the two.
Locate the cylindrical metallic can (it's about half an inch long and an
eighth of an inch in diameter) and pull it away from the circuit board to
break the glue that holds it in place. Unsolder this can, which is a
3.579545 Mhz crystal, from the circuit board.

Take the wire and strip the outer insulation off, there is four wires inside..Pull the red & black wes out, strip the ends of them.
solder the red wire to one side of the circuit board and solder the black wire to the other side.

Drill a 7/64th hole in the center of the front half of the dialer just below the circuit board but n where the battery sets (just above it)
Now run the wires you solder to the cicurt board through the hole you drilled...

Now carefully snap the two halves back together
while checking to make sure that none of the wires are getting pinched or
are in the way of the screw holes. Put the case screws back ion and insert
three AAA batteries into the battery compartment.

On the fount of the dialer you should have two wires out of it (below and to the right of the pause tton)
Take some 5 minute and glue (just a bit) a SPDT switch 3/4th of an inch below the "cancel" button..

Take the red wire, cut it and strip it so you can solder it to the center leg of the SPDT switch.
Take the 3.579545 crystal and solder one of the leads to the top leg of the SPDT switch.
Take the 6.5536 crystal and solder one of leads to the bottom leg of the SPDT switch..
Now take the leads from the two crystals and solder them to the BLACK wire.

Now with the SPDT switch up your dialer is now ready to test. Switch the unit on. The LED on the
dial pad side should be lit. Set the lower slide switch to STORE mode.
Press the MEMORY button on the dial pad. Press the * key five times.
Press the MEMORY key again and then press the P1 key. A beep tone when any
key is pressed and a long beep should sound after the P1 key has been
pressed to indicate that the programming sequence was performed correctly.

Switch the unit into DIAL mode. press the P1 key, and five tone
pulses that sound remarkably like coin tones should come out of the
speaker. I usually program P1 to be four quarters (insert one or two
PAUSE's between each set of five tones), P2 to be two quarters, and P3 as
one quarter.
If all is well,cover the crystals,wires,and the switch with 5 minute epoxy so it won`t move around.
With the SPDT switch down it works as a normal tone..
This works good to store those numbers that you call on the road..

I found that is only works on long distends calls here in the Midwest...(not local calls)
I`ve included a .BMP I found with this. Its a little off for the new dialers but its close enough toork.
Happy Phreaking and remember NIRVANAnet(tm) ROCKS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
