Redbox: the Radio Shack Dialer Modification

   So you've heard about the redbox and you'd like to know more about how
   they are built. Here's how: Go out and buy a Radio Shack memory dialer
   - Part #43-146.
   The device looks like this: [INLINE]
   [INLINE] Click here for a more detailed shot. A crystal around 6.5 MHz
   is required. A 6.5536 MHz is more widely used and can be used as a
   replacement. To modify the device, cut or desolder the existing
   crystal (it is shown as the small cylindrical object at the bottom of
   the picture) and resolder the new crystal in its place. The new
   crystal is the ovular object to the right of the black blob. The
   crystals come in many different shapes and sizes. The tricky part is
   placing the crystal in a location that will permit the case to close
   properly.
   The * button will now produce a sound similar to the coin tone. For
   added convenience, program the three programmable buttons with a
   single tone (nickel), two *'s (dime), and 5 *'s (quarter).
