- Dear TAP,
- Free Envelopesl The Banks in Penn and Grand C-ntr~!
- Stations in NY and in many other cities(lhke Bostor~) h~ve
- free envelopos for decos~tors who use a Bank Cbar~e card.
- Insertin: the credit card-sized Bank card ~nto a slot in a
- panel pops out an envelope. The l~tches are purel~r mech-
- anical and any credit card will yield an envelope. These
- machines are found wLerever banks have remotely locabed
- deposit booths, preferably unrnanned.
- Dear TAP, -H. GORDON LID3Y-

- Con Ed issues two "FINAL" notices of serv~ce suspension.
- The blue one is the first. Ignore the shutoff date. The red
- notice is the real one. When the blne one arrives, phreaks
- have been known to write to Con Ed, clatming that they'll
- be moving info the apartment & wish to have Con Ed service
- turned on in their name. A deposit is likely to be extorted.
- However, service is to be billed to ~ phoney person. The
- bl~e shutoff not~ce is voided as Con Ed switches serv~ce to
- the new resident. Except for the deposit, the phrealc re-
- fuses to pay any more. So, a blue notice e~rentually comes.
- The phrealc then uses a new r~ame & has service ''started''
- for the new resident. Except for the deposit, no more
- money is paid. When the blue notice arrives, a new resi-
- dent moves in....

- Telephone d~al locks have been circumvented ~y l) Un-
- screwing the two screws on the bottom of the phone and
- removing the case, 2) Loosening the screw tbat holds the
- finger-stop(see diagram below) and 3) Dialing numbers by
- stopping at the point wLere the finger-stop used to be before
- you rewoved it. Ihis is easier than tapping out the number
- ~n the switchhook (And less obvious than just ber~ding the
- finger-stop out of the way with a pliers).

- Blue Boxing: 800 and long-distance information present
- some dangers wLen boxing since these are recorded or
- supervised. Are you overlooking the obvious? That is,
- dialing a nearby area code which ~s a toll line(eg. in N. Y.
- calls to 914, 201 and 516 from 212 do not count as toll
- calls and can't be 2600'd. Parts of 203 (Conn. ~ can be
- offed. Get a phone book to find out the nearest beepable
- exchange. Thus, although giving PA BELL some cash, it
- is completely foolproot, since we're only billed to the r~ear-
- by toll number and not the final destination. /(This method
- still has dan~ers if usod from a home phone. Using it from
- a p~y phone is much safer, and with a red box, cheaper! )

- Dear TAP,
- H~vina ~vorked a few years in the ccin machine ~ndustry I
- think I can give much valuable inforrr.ation on certain typos
- of vending machines. The easiest trpe of machine to hit is
- the pinb~ll aame. The front door of those rr.achines can be
- easily pcpped open and the cash box removed. Surprisinol
- quite often enough it is unnecessary to pop it open. Any
- straight~looking dude can buy Ise~s from Wurlitzer Thes
- keys will open the majority of machines in the I1. Y. are
- To purchase these keys it is necessary to ask by number.
- The following keys are for games: 1093,11~3,115o, 1350,
- 2255,12:34. Ihese keys wilL open almost all pool table
- drawers which will enable you to play for free. Pool tabl~
- quite often have an alarm on them which consists of a bell
- battery and a swiLch so observe carefully when yo~ open
- them. Pool table cash boxes are usaally master locks and
- are a job to break open. Juke bozes also use a master loc~
- to lock up cash bot conta~n records which can be easly re-
- moved. Ihe proper keys for juXeboxes can be obtained on
- lOth Ave. The majority of ccin machine companies are be-
- tween 40 and 44 st. The only other is Wurlitzer at 1161
- Rogers Ave. Juke Box keys are brQken down by Corp. #'s:
- Wurlit~er:RW 95, RW 100) RW105, RW 110.
- Seeburg:264, 278, 314, 33G, 3407 291, 2'J3, 205
- AMt C70A, C25G, RI30;3
- Rock-Ola: 486, 592, 593
- Juke Boxes are never alarmed and in the newer or.es the
- ampllfier and other digital parts are well worth it. Ihe
- on,ly other machlne worth breaking into are the TV games.
- Steal both the TV and the circuit board. Any friend who
- knows TV Will be able to restore the TV to operating cond-
- ition and the circuit board has dozens of usetul ICs(7400).
- Try the following keys in the back doors:8013 and $114 from
- Wurlitzer plus the game keys listed above. Cigarette mach-
- ines have individual keys and are often alarmed. Try a
- Rowe 87 Key (Ace) available frum Simon on 10th Ave. Ihat's
- about all I can tell you.

- Dear TAP,
- Thonght I'd write and tell the rest of Pnreakdom
- about a techn~ue for tapping neighbor's phone lines
- ~at I used to use, for whatever it's worth. Ihe
- problem with a direct tap is tbat sooner or later,
- some phor~e compan;y ~ s going to.come and
- check the line. To malce it indetecta~le:
-
- We are going to use the 2 spare wires of the 4-
- wire cable runni~ to your phonetusu~y yellow &
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- black). First locate your c~ble and ~e tsppee's
- cable in the m~in box for your apartment. (A phone
- with clip leads will help). Then trtm to length and
- strip the ends of the 2 wires. They should be just
- long enough to reach ~e brminals of the other
- phone wi~h NO slack. l~he wires should then be at-
- ~ched to the terminals jost loose enough so tbat
- they pull off eastly. Straighten and strip some of the
- other cables' yellow and black wires too so that
- your's won't look difEerent later. Then run a big
- wire (12 gauge house wire is fine) under your utires
- as sho~n. Close the box lid as tight as possible and
- k~ist the' wire ends toge~er as shown. Now when
- the box is opened the wires will be ripped loose.
- Ihe Foneperson w~ not cut the outside wire befare
- opening it up because the whole thing might f~ll
- apart. With a DPDT toggle swit~h (and line relays,
- recorders, etc. ) you ~y now ~eely use the line.
- A BB will be safe and cause no charge to the other
- party's Line-Ed.
-
- I bnilt the Red Bo~c from your last issue and lL~ce
- it. Ihe two diodes feeding ~e 500K pots for 5╜ and
- 109 aren't needed. I'm also doing research on
- bank machines and ''money cards". ~f I can crack
- thew code on the cards and rewrite them it could
- be good for $1000 a day. I will appreciate any help
- on this (bank employees could rea~y help).
