Only if you want a Princess Phone with lighted dial. They had a power
supply to plug in.



There were several in my parent's house in the early 70s. None had power
supply plugs. And, I have a spare AT&T "princess" style phone whose
display is illuminated. Bought it 5 years ago. No power supply plug.


I had three Trimline in my house, installed about 1966 or 67. Each had a
power supply. Maybe newer designs eliminated it.
