202 - Deep Red with Chrome Trim

The Western Electric and Northern Electric 102/202 series telephones were the first widely distributed phones which adopted the use of a single handset rather than a separate transmitter and receiver. The Model 102 - B1 mount was available from 1928 - 1930 and is characterized by a round base and raised dial.

In 1930 the Model 102 was modified with an elongated ovoid base. This revised mounting scheme was known as D1. At the same time the Model 202 - D1 was introduced on the same chassis with a new "antisidetone" wiring scheme. The dial on the D1 chassis was recessed into the front of the phone as opposed to sitting on the frame as with the "102 V B1 mount". Model 102/202 - D1 telephones were manufactured until 1938.

Like the candlestick phone, the 102 and 202 contained only the switch hook and switch. The network and ringer were contained in a subset which was mounted on the wall.

This 202 is been upgraded with a modern network in the base that eliminates the need for a separate subset. Due to space limitations in the chassis, there is no ringer internally, although external ringers are readily available. The handset is the venerable F-1 model that is acoustically superior to the older E series handset that was introduced in the 1920s.

This 202 dates from the early 1930s and has been refinished in a deep red using a product called Polane. This is done using the very same equipment, product and procedures as Western Electric originally used to refinish their phones.We have added a chrome trim package to this phone with brass handset caps and a brass fingerwheel

As a finishing touch, a new coiled handset cord, and a modular line cord have been added to this classic. All components have been fully overhauled and tested to ensure that they will function properly both now, and in the years to come.
