CABLE BOX Diagrams
 
Every Electronics magazine or Internet Search Engine listing has an advertisement on how to build your own cable TV descrambler for $15 or less. Save your money. Presented here is what you get for the money. These are the plans. Typically for a notch filter for the interference scrambling method. This system is estimated by the FBI to be used by less than 7% of the cable companies today. Save yer dough…
 
 
PAY TV DECODER PLANS
 
 
 
MATERIALS REQUIRED
 
1 - Radio Shack mini-box ( #270-235)
1 - 1/4 watt resistor, 2.2k-2.4k ohm
(RS #271-1325)
1 - 75pf-100pf variable capacitor
(Hard to find)
2 - F61a chassis-type coaxial
connectors (RS #278-212)
12" - No. 12 solid copper wire
12" - RG59 coaxial cable
 
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Bare a length of No. 12 gauge solid copper wire and twist around a 3/8 nail or rod to form a coil of 9 turns. Elongate coil to a length of 1 1/2 inches and form right angle bends on each end.
 
2. Solder the variable capacitor to the coil. It doesn't matter where you solder it, it still does the same job The best place for it is in the center with the adjustment screw facing upward.
 
Note: When it comes time to place coil in box, the coil must be insulated from grounding. This can be done by crazy gluing a piece of rubber to the bottom of the box, and securing the coil to it.
 
3. Tap coil at points 2 1/2 turns from ends of coil and solder to coaxial chassis connectors, bringing tap leads through holes in chassis box. Use as little wire as possible. 4. Solder resistor to center of coil and ground other end of resistor to chassis box, using solder lug and small screw.
 
5. Drill a 1/2" diameter hold in mini-box cover to permit adjustment of the variable capacitor from the outside. Inspect the device for defects in workmanship and place cover on mini-box. Tighten securely.
 
6. Place device in line with existing cable on either side of the converter box and connect to television set with the short piece of RG59 coaxial cable. Set television set to HBO channel.
 
7. Using a plastic screwdriver (non-metallic)adjust the variable capacitor until picture tunes in. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!! (HAR)
