20 Most Recent Lucent AT&T Speakerphone 830 (21214) Questions & Answers

Hello Samnbrone200, Lucent was the FIRST name of WESTERN ELECTRIC... after divestiture (the break-up of the Bell System)... Which means ... while NOT YOUNG... that is a fairly robust (high quality) telephone set... (vintage 1983). If you use it as a wall phone... or desk set... It is actually IMPORTANT to have the HANDSET HOOK set appropriately (read the manual... (see below)). Check the BATTERY CONTACTS and make sure they are clean & shiny... If NOT... Use a soft graphite pencil to gently burnish the battery contacts. If they are heavily corroded ... comment me back & I will detail instructions on how to restore (or replace) functionality...

With a little regular use that phone can give another few DECADES of service...!! 830 Owner's manual... AT 830 Owner Manual Carnac the Magnificent
