Thanks to Peter, we have a second place winner in the contest for user-submitted disassembly guides. Here is Peter’s disassembly guide for an ATT Model 1337 digital answering machine:
Found this laying around and figured it’d be a nice addition to the site.
Front
Back (overheated battery caused a bit of scorching, not sure if its evident in the pic)
Side
Top
Bottom
This plate holds the bottom of the answering machine together. It was glued down, and had to be forced a little.
Remove these four screws, and gently lift the top of the board to gain access to the screw underneath it
Aformentioned screw
There are two more screws underneath the black plastic
Back Plate
Guts and Buttons
Front Plate
Tada!
Cooool! I used to have one of these answery machines. When these first came out they were quite the oddity. Nice to see the guts of it.
I’ve had this answering machine kicking around for a few years. I never managed to get it open, not realizing that part of it was glued down! I even resorted to trying (and failing) to saw it open. Now that I have this guide I’ll have to give it another go.
Ha, that’s great!. I have this exact same answering machine. Suckers old and the volume only works turned all the way up, which is VERY loud. I think I’ll take it apart now.
that was cool i have one of these kicking around it still works but i just record stupid and funny stuff on it to hear what it sounds like scrambled like it is lol. oh and uncle jerry if you havent taken this machine apart try this turn the volume up and down repeatedly this should help but if youve already taken it apart then ignore this tip
Can anyone tell me what is the out put vol tage is on the transformer for the 1337 Answer machine ?
i remember seeing that thing around my house when i was young also just to add it is a “elite” ansewering machine in leet speek terms.
I have one of these that has been going strong for about 16 years. Just amazing as I think this was one of the first tapeless machines on the market. I wish all electronics were this reliable. Thanks
I just retired my AT&T 1337 answering machine today, after over 14 years of use. Nice to see some information about it on the web. It was still working up until today, although recently the built-in microphone for recording the greeting stopped working properly. The last outgoing message I recorded was very distorted and low in volume. Thanks for putting this page on the web.
