Princess phone transformer light background
The Princess telephone and some Trimline telephones made by Western Electric use a
transformer to light up the dial. In the old days, the telephone installer would simply
plug the transformer into an outlet in an out of the way place, like a laundry room, and
then wire the transformer to the yellow and black wires of the home telephone wiring.
Today, it's not recommended you do this because frequently those previously unused
lines are now in use by various things, such as security systems, second phone lines, DSL
computer connections, etc.
In this case, you're better off to wire just the phone you are using to the transformer
only, this keeps the transformer isolated from the rest of the phone system. The Princess
phone uses the green and red wires of a phone line for regular use, and it uses the yellow
and black for powering the light bulb. If you're handy with a wire stripper, you can do
this yourself and just buy the transformer. If you're not quite sure how to do this, or
simply don't want to take the time, I've developed a home made "kit" that allows
you to just plug in your phone and go.
