Old Camera (Lochend EH6)
Hi everyone! 😊 I’m looking for a simple old 35mm film camera, nothing fancy, preferably one that doesn’t need batteries. If you have one lying around that you no longer use, I’d love to give it a new home! Thanks! 📷

Antique Reed Organ - needs restoring (Alnwickhill EH16)
Final call before this will unfortunately need to be disposed of. Late-1800s reed organ, built by John W. Reed of Hanover Street, Islington, London. Unlike other mass-produced reed organs, it appears that John Reed made only a few organs a year, working alongside his son. The organ is in poor-but-restorable condition. One of the straps on the right hand pedal has broken, however the bellows do fill using the left pedal and sounds come out. I hope someone might take it and restore it. Dimensions: Height - 130cm, Depth - 65cm, Width - 130cm. The organ is currently located in a rural property around 35 miles from Edinburgh. However I have a car and trailer and would be willing to assist with delivering in a reasonable distance for anyone seriously interested in the organ. Note that it is large and heavy! 14 Stops: Forte, Viola, Bourdon, Melodia, Diapason, Echo, Octave Coupler, Vox Humana, Octave Coupler, Dolce, Dulciana, Flute, Clarinette, Violetta
