While clearing out a cupboard at work, we found an old conference phone:

It's a BT AC2000 according to the label - also prominently labelled "Made
in Scotland". I've not seen one like this before - most conference phones
are the "spider" type, but this one is a wooden box. Google has never
heard of it. Does anyone know more about it? It doesn't have any dialling
controls, and has a splitter on the phone plug, so it looks like it's
intended to be used with a separate phone to make the call and then
transfer to the conference speaker.

One of my colleagues suggested it should be in a museum - which if it's as
rare as it seems to be may well be the case. But does anyone know of a
museum (or private collector) that would want it? It does power on and
appears to be in working order.
