Re: Western Electric 1200Hello,
Great to have tis phone and the original user's manual too It would be interesting to see inside this manual, could You scan or photo some pages and upload here in PDF? Peter
Re: Western Electric 1200Yes, sure, I will upload some more pics at least of the manual later.
The manual is dated 1986 (version 2), but I have opened the transceiver up & all of the components in it have a 1984 date code on them, so was made in 1984. I believe it has updated 1986 firmware in it that would have added the system A/B selection function at least. This was not implemented in AMPS phones until 1985. The phone still works fine with my test set, pretty cool ! These old phones really were made to last ! The design of this phone is very similar to the first AMPS field trial phones from the late 1970's. Cheers, Chris.
Re: Western Electric 1200Just found a cool article from a US finance magazine from Nov 1985 that has a nice photo of this very phone.
Have uploaded this. The phone appears to have been made by Hitachi, going by the ESN prefix code.
Re: Western Electric 1200I searched for this article, found it and converted to PDF and uploaded to the Library. Interesting to read
