The following text file is for AT&T & GTE payphones from 1982-1985. some 
things are different on gte phones, so additions are included for them.

Section 1:The coin slot

For every 5 cents you put in a phone, a sound is made.  After you put the 
coins in the slot, they pass through a  totalizer which counts them.  They     
 Then collect in a hopper.  To empty out the hopper, all you have to do is 
activate the coin relay.  Payphones sometimes hold $100 or more.  To activate 
the relay place 5 cents in the phone.  Stick a magnet up the coin slot about 5 
inches.  Now remove the front panel of the phone. You will see a series of 
wires.  cut the red and green wires.  Now in the front of the panel you will 
see three screws. Touch the green wire to the third screw.  Better have a hat 
ready, because alot of change is gonna come flooding out.  Isn't this fun?

Section 2:free credits
If you have a friend in germany you need to call this sections for you.  One 
of the cheap things about pay phones is they depend on tones to tell them you 
inserted money.  Well if you have a red box these tones are easily duplicated, 
but i want to show you how do it without boxes in this file.  Now Some thing 
you need are...
A set of screwdrivers.  You will need both philips and flathead.  Now open the 
front panel of the phone and cut the red and green wires.  Take the cover off 
the top of the phone and insert 5 cents.  You should hear nothing.  Find a 
green wire coming from the coin slot down to the hopper.  Disconnect that 
wire.  Now take off the case and you will see a small switch.  Move the 
switch.  This sets the totalizer backwards 1.  Now put the hopper cover back 
on and reconnect the wire. Go back to the front panel.  Feel to the right of 
the two screws.  You should feel 4 jumpers.  1 of the jumpers should be 
disconnected.  Reconnect it. Now cut the top jumper.  You should hear a loud 
pop.  Now touch the green wire to the second screw.  You will hear the sound 
of twenty five cents being inserted.  You now have 30 cents credit.  Repeat as 
many times as you need. Now reconnect the green wire and dial your number.
GTE Notes:
The green wire will be white. The red one will be blue.  The totalizer is 
located at the bottem of the front panel.  

In part 2 we will show you how to take the payphone apart, and how to take one 
home.
