1A2 Central Office Set(s)

So after watching the XY switch tour here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRQWhmDxPGY I noticed that there was what appeared to be a 1A2 key telephone in a rack-mounted chassis, like these:

 

 

 

Appeared to have a lever-type hook switch and 4-way plug for the handset/headset. Does anyone have more information on one? Anyone have one they want to sell me?

Hah, that's like the 1960s version of this thing.

 

I don't have any to sell you, but those phones are p nice.  I could probably find some part numbers if you want magic words for ebay.  Another good place to look would be the telephone collector mailing lists, particularly the 'singingwires' yahoo group.
