The Crimson Box is very simple device that will allow you to put someone =
on hold or make your fone busy with a large amount of ease. You flip a =
switch and the person can't hear you talking. Flip it back and everything is =
peechy.

First I will give you the schematic and then I will explain what the =
hell is going on.

1 2 3
Ok. The '/\/\/' is the resistor. And '1 2 3' is the switch where the =
numbers are the poles on the switch. Notice you leave the black and yellow wires =
alone. You DO NOT cut them!
Strip the red and green wires so you've got about an inch of bare wire. =
Solder some of the extra wire and follow the schematic. You should have the =
resistor on the green wire with an extra piece of wire coming from one leg of it. =
The other leg goes to the other end of the green wire. You should solder the =
green wire to the left pole of the switch and the red to the middle and the =
other end of the red to the right pole.
Now, lift up the phone. If all you get is an annoying buzz then throw =
the [switch and you should get a dial tone. If not, don't worry and just =
follow the instructions and schematic again.
