Bag of telephone bits (Maidenhead)
Expired
Having discontinued my land line I have a collection of equipment that's now surplus to requirements. This includes extension cables, phone jack to RJ11 cables, ADSL filters and, separately, a BT Checkphone (grey). The Checkphone was based on the iconic Sceptre 100 and was, as far as I know, produced for a point of sale application that never got off the ground. It uses tone dialling so will be usable with fibre (voice over IP) as long as you've subscribed to a digital telephony service. The left hand keys have been repurposed but can be ignored. I think it has last number redial, a 10 number memory and possibly Caller ID. I can't check as I no longer have an analogue line. I also have a BT Sceptre 100 (beige) and an equally iconic Ferranti FlipPhone (red) but these use pulse dialling and are unlikely to be of interest except to collectors. I can supply a contemporary BT tone pad if required.
