Just so you know, a tiny 6.500 MHz crystal is available from Digi-Key (800-344-4539). Get part number X415-ND. Costs $1.56, but Digi-Key has a $20 minimum order. So how about those new RS 33 memory dialers? Did they just get a face lift? -Jason

Although that part number is listed in the Digi-Key catalog, the last I checked, it was backordered INDEFINATLY.... At least, thats what they TOLD me.... I think "BIG BROTHER" is applying pressure to these places to make the 6.500MHz crystals as scarce as possible! Tom D Tek P.S. I have like 2 or 3 kits left... __________________________________________________________________________ / Thomas W.

I am thinking of ordering a couple but don't > know if it's worth the cash (i.e. outdated) I've ordered one of their books on box schematics. Frankly, it was a bit dissapointing. The schematics were not very well laid out and often there was little or no supporting documentation. For instance, the blue box plans tell you to use pots on the individual keys so that you can tune the device after you are finished -- however, they don't provide the frequencies for tuning (other than the 2600 tone, obviously). Anyway, you can probably save the $15-$20 and get most of this data off the net or BBSs. There are a lot of designs floating around. You should start off by looking in back issues of 2600, Phrack. Good luck! P:\Ted
