    It is important that we understand
    the basic fundamentals of the Pay
    Phone before attempting to abuse
    this noble species.
    Fig. 1 shows the standard, or "old"
    version. More plastic parts are
    used on this model, making the
    co~n returns, for example, very
    attractive targets for cherry bombs.
    Note three slots for depositing
    money. A nickel, when dropped,
    produces a "ding", a dime makes a
    "ding-ding"$ and a quarter, you
    guessed it, makes a "gong'~. The
    sounds are heard both by you and
    the operator when they occur.
    Money deposited during a call on
    ~his phone drops several seconds
    after you hang up, on a pulse by
    the operator, who can send it to
    you by coin return, or to them v~a
    the coin box.
    Fig. 2 shows the phone the Bell
    people designed to eliminate YIPL.
    (So they thought') To prevent us
    from tape recording the dings and
    dongs, th~s model uses "beeps'',
    and you can't even hear them. BIJT,

    it you call a friend and stick in
    money while you 're talking, he will.
    Thus' he cen record them.
    Fig. 3 shows you how to directly
    record the tones from the phone at
    your fr i end ' s hous e . Us ing a micro -
    phone doesn' t work well enough.
    Never play beeps into an old phone,
    or dings into a new one, because
    the operators know. Operators know
    the pref ix (f irst three digits) of
    the phone you're on, and they know
    if you 're at a pay phone. They know
    when to suspect something if you're
    not carefol, and they sometim-es put
    stakeouts on booths frequented by
    yippies.` Keep moving around. See issue #17.
    
    The polarity of the pulse the operator
    sends to drop coins determines where
    it will go. If the incoming wires of
    a phone you know are exposed, you can
    re~rerse the cr~cial two and get money
    back each time she tries to collect
    ~t. There are only 4 w~res, and the
    ones to reverse are usnally black ~
    yellow or black ~ red. This ouly works
    till the collecting dude comes and
    finds the box empty. See issue #15.
