This project probably started due to my odd obsession with quarters and coin operated devices.
I guess that the legends of the golden days of hacking and phreaking helped too. Added to the
fact that my cordless phones were never to be found when needed. So the decision was made I
needed a corded phone. After running a across a few look a like phones, I thought they looked
cheap. Then it hit me, why not buy a real one. I discovered that AT&T was removing a lot of these
phones, since it was not cost effective to maintain them. Once i learned this, off to ebay I ran.
With this being said
The legend begins....

After a few minutes searching I came across someone selling a large quantity of phones for well
under market value. A few transactions later, my treasure was on its way. I suppose that there
are other ways although I won't recommend riping one off the wall of your local quicky-mart.

Also, I want to buy one, what do I need to look out for besides getting all keys?
I want one to hook up at home phoneline (I understood some are not able to do this), then the programming part, is this easy or are you obliged to call someone to program this for big bucks?
The board manufacturer is currently no help except for trying to sell me a 1000 inet board or paying them to do it for me where's the fun in that
i have been unable to find any service manuals except for obscure reference to a starchek program.
With that being said the manufactuerer is offering to do it over the phone line so i take it they are dealing into it ?
What's the secret handshake I'm not sure hop to find out soon though
on the second note I've added a picture of the back of the handset indicating the wiring
j2=yellow
j4=red
j3=green/black that plug is dual sided one on each side
intellicall codes
I just got my phone And plan to do exactly what you're doing. Lets work together.
Here's a thought as well, I have a canadian Centurion phone which is just a 500 set with a control board.. If the intellicall board is not hackable,
a useable phone can be created by gutting the phone and sticking 500 set (or similar) guts inside.
Great work, glad to see the painting works out, mine needs it too.
