Unfortunately, the BBC is incorrect.

That receiver is in the National Museum of Scotland. It was purchased by Michael Bennett-Levy from a dealer in the the US some years ago, and donated recently to the museum.
Yes, unfortunately the National Museum of Scotland is now a pale shadow of its former self and whereas in the past such items were well displayed now there appears to be nobody giving any thought to educating the visitor. There is a small card beside the set but it gives next to no description or context/background and the set sits in a hall with no other television exhibits despite the fact that they have a good collection hidden away. (It has no projection screen.)
