Description: For your consideration is a WORKING 1220A Western Electric 10 button trimline phone. I purchased this phone in working condition (so I did not give it a complete teardown) but realized that I did not care for the color. Thus, I decided to add a polarity guard and a transformer and have now listed it here. The phone rings, works in conversation, lights with the transformer (which is included), and does so with grace as it looks beautiful. There are very few scratches and dings, with the exception of the perimeter of the bottom of the base but that is hardly notable. Otherwise, there is medium-light wear around the usual resting spots between the handset and base. The color is a consistent for the most part and is your usual -56 Western Electric yellow - the photos may not appear that way because iPhone cameras adjust for the kind of background lighting but I can assure you this is the case! Original line cord was missing upon my original purchase; a nice long modern modular one was thus added in. The handset cord looks great. From time to time, the sheath of the cord will slide out of the outer rubber part near the handset end of the cord. It can be pushed back in with ease. It you want to replace it, all you need to remove it is a strong paper clip to enter into the small middle space between the plastic holding the cord in and the back piece of the handset. Same applies to the other end at the base. See photos as they apart of the description. If you have a question, please feel free to message me! Shipping cost covers the cost of the label (eBay charges $14.00 for Medium Flat Rate USPS boxes), transportation to the post office, and bubble wrap and/or paper, packing peanuts, or whatever seems appropriate to ship your telephone. I always make sure to never ship a phone with its handset directly cradled to its base as doing so can damage the phone.
