Ah, Sugarloaf. That tune sure brings back memories of nighttime radio listening back in the 70s. And Three Dog Night, Santana, etc.
The WE 102 is a neat phone but it was replaced pretty fast by the 202, probably for better stability. The round base was easier to pull over. Pure 'deco' styling that still looks great today.
I think there are sources for replacement cords; I need to check that out.
I've used these folks over the years for a number of things, including replacement cords:

Phones are fun to play around with, easy to restore, and a great accessory for the radio room full of old tube gear. Still have a surplus TP-6-A desk phone here along with a mod 41 space saver which hangs in the radio room. Need to repair the rotary dial on the 41 as it doesn't dial reliably. Sometimes you get the number you dialed, sometimes you don't.
The TP-6-A always draws compliments for wonderful fidelity. Not bad for a 1940s phone.
