PHREAKING PHUTURE; BETTER BOXING DESIGNS            2-3-94
by:hendrix
          Boxing, many times it seems like toooooo much work, but 
     now it is time to change all that. In this phile I would like to 
     closely examine the red/blue box. 
     I'm sure the last time most would be phreaks looked at a  
     red box plan they did just that - looked at it. The problem is 
     that the red files in circullation currently are out of date.       
     Not to say that the technical specs are wrong or anything like 
     that, it is just the plain fact that the common lamer cannot 
     interpet some of that s&*t. In addition to crappy scematics,  
     when is the last time you ordered a red box crystal from that 
     cruddy chain of electronics stores??????? Now how long did it 
     take to get the part in question  - that is one of the main 
     reasons for this project.
          Earlier this year (1993 -4) I ordered a crystal for a red 
     box i was building, it took 3 months for that piece of junk in. 
     I was beginning to lose faith in that crappy store. Not to 
     mention the highly overpriced companion that was purchased for 
     use with the crystal (like 27.95). Well i am pissed. Even though 
     i have probably saved $300 or so bucks in ld charges i feel that 
     this overpricing and weird part unavailability is a scam 
     directly designed to deterr phun. So now you say i am a nut , 
     well i just have to say that if u pay $32 for a red box you are 
     the nut my friend . 
          This project was started on 2-1-94 and will probably 
     continue for about 2 - 4 weeks. What is happening is a totally 
     profeesional redesign of our favorite red box. This design will 
     be cheap, made of highly available parts, come with high quality 
     scematics,have the same power efficency of its predecessor, and 
     >>>> will produce 100% phone company spec'd red box tones 
     (operators will no longer say " I am sorry sir your coins are 
     not registering properly "  or " what was that????"), and more 
     descreet mounting scenarios . Now you may be wondering where to 
     purchase this stuff, or where to send money and that is when i 
     say .. you can't. It is not for sale....This project was done by 
     volonteers who have enjoyed the benefits of having access to 
     phreak philes all over the world who just want the scene to move 
     on technically. Now this is no claim to having the best new 
     redbox design ever, but it will be the only new design utilizing 
     very modern tecnology, and additionaly , is going to actually 
     come with scematics that even lamers can read - nice . 
          Well all i can say is thanks for reading, and be on the 
     lookout for a new design release within the next month or so 
     from the CL TECH GROUP................bye
