TAP No. 7 - Tuning Your Organ, 3-Slot Ripoffs

H 1972 CREDIT CARO Cove e don't have it yet. But as soon as one reader breaks the code and lets us know, you'll all know. So get friendly with an operator, apply for a credit card, or check your local underground paper. When you've got it, send it in. You are the source of our information. ~ The Source catalog, coming out in issues starting now, is for people who need a radical yellow pages. Source is primarily your aid to obtaining information, and it lists periodicals, documents, and even organizations like YIPL. If you're an organizer, you need Source. Our demented readers have been deluging us with requests for suppliers of #14 brass washers. We want to know where these items can be mail-ordered from, SO we can publish an expose' of such a dastardly corporation that would sell slugs good in pay phones, drink and food machines, laundromats and parking meters. So if any of you people run across such a scummy outfit, be sure to alert YIPL as to the adress ,and the price of the washers. We have recently been advised that a seemingly outasight deal is a gyp. The Book Clubs, who advertise in the New York Times every Sunday(Book Review Section) don't tell their customers that the books come with untrimmed pages that look like shit. For this unspeakable crime,’we urge YIPL readers to order the four free books(or 4for a buck) and to refuse to pages. Only order from companies that do not require a signature..Also, continue ordering for aeeks afterwards for ail your friends if they refuse to remedy this despicable situation. And if you can believe it, The Book of the Month Club says"'These books are identical to the publishers editions, ...in quality." What a fucking lie, pay if they come with untrimmed REVISED Yipl readers! We are being attacked! The U.S. Government is undermining our correspondence, and stealing your money. This is happening all the way down the line to the postmen who look through your mail before they decide to deliver it to you or not. Don't mail letters to YIPL with your local mailman. Drop them in a mailbox.Only send checks to YIPL,not cash. And most of all, place your stamps 1 1/2 inches lower on the envelope. And don't forget the zip code. We can't allow them to have an excuse for confiscating our mail. As long as this communications gap exists, we have to ask you to help. If your YIPL gets through, Xerox it and distribute it at head shops,at clothing stores, colleges, riots, conventions, to friends ,hitchers, schools.This is vital for reaching the masses whom the Government fears. One reader suggested labels that stick to phones, subway doors,etc., that have useful information about freebies. Happy New Year to all our friends, especially the New York Tel. Co. striking workers. 1972 will provide fun for many yippies in San Diego this summer. See you there.

It will work especially well now around Christmas time. Just go into a large store, pick something off the shelf (packaged) and quickly walk over to the cashier and tell her you would like to return this item. Since you have no sales slip(you received this as a gift and already have one) the sales girl will give you a merchandise credit and you're free to look around and choose anything your crooked litr tle heart desires. Also,if its extra cash you want 4 need, save sales slips when you do shop and after Christmas do the same thing as above but now you have a sales receipt-make sure its for the same amount please-so the cashier will give you cash.if you can't find anything you want to ex- change it for, Its really a rush! Remember ,Always Look,Act and Speak Confident!Love and peace from K&B, Florida. Dear YIPL, My name is »presently I am being held prisoner by Monroe State Reformatory, hopefully not for very damn longer,it's hard telling because I am on appeal,who knows how long they can take on a appeal these days. Several months ago I mailed you some stamped envelopes, so that I could get onto your mailing list. Well, low and behold I received an issue today, and I find it extremely interesting,I re- ceived November's issue #6. I am going to try to send you a few more stamped envelopes with this letter, they are about the only assets I have right now and I'm pretty broke to tell the truth. The State "gives" us three stamped envelopes a week, and so you get to saving them up for trading and such, but it takes-a while. So I hope that they ‘come to use for you. I was wondering though,if it would be possible to send me any ack issues, I sure would appreciate it. I can dig finding out about installing phones, in and around and under different con- ditions. (continued in fourth column) Dear Sir: I have a problem which you might be able to help with. The series of events went like this: 1. A friend gave me a phone credit card number and said it was 0O,K. to use. 2. I used it for about 3 months,making some person to person calls(the friend who gave it to me said to keep the costs down that way). 3.0n Nov. 23, Ohio Bell called my friends and coaxed them into saying that I was the person who called them from this area. 4. The next day the phone company called me and explained that the card was invalid. They then said that I should pay for the calls. When I declined, they said they would forward the matter to their securities dept. If you could,please advise me on what to do,since I don't want to pay for all those calls.D.G.,Painesville,Ohio -Try this: Contact your friends and tell them to change their story if the phone company calls them again. They should say that "many people use this phone operator" and they wish they could help but they can't. When the phone company contacts you again, deny the charges. By the way, don't use a credit card no. for more than a month, or call friends who will buckle under a threat that the phone company will more than likely not carry through. Yipl-For 25¢ you can get a copy of The Daily Block also known as the Boulder Denver Colorado Pornography Guide & Rape the Earth, with a spec- ial telephone section by HANG UP,A GLOBAL COMMITTEE TO STOP AT&T.Address is 1921 21st Street,Boulder, Colorado. 90302. It has a nice spirit. Dear Friends: In your pay phone issue you suggest that a proper way to fuck a pay phone is to glue the coin slots or the coin box lock with epoxy glue and to use a syringe. Excellent injectors for this type of work can be purchased from the Brook Stone Company, 12 for $4.95 plus -90 postage. They look like syringes with a needle. The order number is Z-1135.3 and the address is Brookstone Company Dept. C 9 Brookstone Building Petersborough,N.H., 03458 A good pair of bolt cutters can be had from Brookstone. It's 14" long, easy to hide under a coat or pants leg. They cost $8.95 plus $1.15. I have a pair and they cut armored cable like string. Can any of you send me some #14 brass washers or an address where I can send for some? I can't seem to find fm up here. N.Y. Times Dec. 8,1971 Babeon in Sewth Africa ‘Takes Over’ Phone System CAPETOWN (AP) —_ Sub- scribers at Kloof Nek Forest were left to wonder about the |new bug in the telephone sys-' tem when betis rang for no reason and some heard only! barks, growls and sucking| sounds. A baboon had gotten into the unattended exchange. It pulled instructions from the wail, pressed every button on the switchboard, spilt milk on the floor and finally ate the only| pen of Michael Anhauser, the) \Operator who had left for a few: minutes. “I don’t know what to put) in_my report,” Mr. Anhauser! said. It seems like we're everywhere, Keep up the good work. C.T -Remember, gang, epoxy the coin boxes only.-Ed. I have one little idea, that I remem- ber from way back, and so it is very possible that you may already know it. If you tear about a half inch wide strip from the telephone book, in a pay booth,and tear it so you have a half by ten inch strip of cardboard, you then take it and slip it down the quarter slot in the phone, and just drop a penny down the slot and puil the cardboard from the phone, but do it very slowly, and you might try even jiggling it a bit when you do it,once you get the hang of it it is easier than shit, and you can call long distance the same way, when the operator asks you to put the money in, just drop in your pennys into the nickel slot, wiggle the cardboard in the quarter slot, and it rings up the bread, it might sound like a big hassle, but it really isn't at all. Well, guess I will close now, thanks again, I really like issue#6 and think that something of this sort should have come out ages ago,especially when I was on the streets, I could have dug getting in to it then. Also, if you can,will you send me an extra copy of your back issues? You may have sent them to me already, and the pigs here could have intercepted them, but I think if you mail just one issue at a time, that they will come through OK, at least I will let you know what happens,thanks again. In love and peace for all, John Doe Abby Hoffman, Here are a few sure-fire ways to rip off Maw Bell. On the three slot pay phones there is a plastic case on the bottom, underneath the phone. Now when you unscrew the center screw it will reveal 4 screws with a wire behind each. Now you take the bottom right screw and unscrew it enough to take the wire out. Now you take the wire and touch it tothe top right wire and presto-you got a dial tone. Call away A way you can get money is to unhitch the bottom right wire and put some tape around it so it doesn't touch any other part. Now the phone doesn't work but the people don't know this so they put money in and nothing. So you come back in a week and take the tape off and put the wire back under its screw, hang up the phone and you hit the jack pot-money-money-money. (P.S.if it don't work just push the coin return but the above will work so you don't have nothing to worry about). M.R., Hadley, Mass. Tuning Your ORGAN Probably one of the hardest parts of constructing our toy organ is finding a tuning method. One proven method is to use an electric organ. However, many of these are unstable and nay have drifted. The Hammond B3 or C3 is a good instrument to use. With the highest drawbar pulled out only, the following notes, starting with the low F, closely agree with the frquencies specified F5 697 Hz, A6 880 Hz. A better idea is,of course, to use an accurate C#6 1108 Hz. signal generator. If the generator is off, you E6 1318 Hz. can Calibrate it by using A= 880 Hz. Or, Ma Bell F¥6 1479 Hz, herself can help you. A touch tone phone operates G#6 1661 Hz. very accurately with each row and column having ° a single frequency. To get 697 Hz, simply press E7 2637 Hz, any two buttons on the top row. To tune a signal generator with a touch-tone phone, connect the generator output to the two mic- rophone terminals in the phone handset, press 1 and 2, and tune generator until "beats" stop. Generator is now putting out 697. FI- 1477 3 ~~! Several YIPLs have written us that = 7170 the original oscillator schematic has unnecessary parts for tempera- ture stability. We have found that best results necessitate these parts = 352 because pay phones are often in cold parts, and one would not want to call a friend long distance just to play him an out-of-tune organ, now [x] [o | [#] =4941 would we?

For those of you who are interested in obtaining the original information on boxing, the Bell System Technical Journal, in 1960 or in 1961, put out an article called Multifrequency signaling systems. You might find it in an engineering library, if Bell doesn't find it first. We would appreciate it if an astute YiPPler would go there armed with a razor blade, and after liberating the article, send it to us for publication. We will return it to her/him.
