Free: Older "Hands Free" Bluetooth device for mobile phone - Spence Supertooth "BlueAnt" Model BTSVBC3 device, with charger & instructions, that gives hands free connection to your mobile phone (e.g. in your car that doesn't have this feature). It is in good condition, but itis 10 years or more old, so will only work with (presumably older) phones that can handle the earlier versions of Bluetooth. First in best dressed; otherwise it will be responsibly recycled. Jim Spence

Free: Window shutters - Spence Expired We have replaced our adjustable PVC(?) window shutters with double glazing. I have since re-used some of the shutters as adjustable protection for the vegie patch (heat, hail, frost etc) and also, with some cutting and reassembling, as shutters for my workshop windows. But I still have some complete shutters, with the frames for anyone who may wish to do similar things, or may have even better ideas. First picture below is of the available frames; the second picture is of leftover components also available and the subsequent pictures are examples of how I have used them, to get you to think about how you might use them. If necessary i could help with local delivery. Shutters offered Spares included: Example sof re-use: Cheers Jim Spence

Free: Child's Car seat in good condition - Spence Expired Since it seems no-one is interested in the child's car seat I posted recently, can anyone advise how it can be disposed, preferably to an organisation that would re-use it? P.S. Someone sneakily put one in our daughter's recycle bin, but I very much doubt that is appropriate :-)

Free: Child's Car seat in good condition - Spence Expired Our grandchildren are now tall enough not to need this "BRITAX" brand car seat that we bought for occasional use when grandchild minding. It was seldom used and is in good condition. The arm rssts can be folded back out of the way and it even has two retractabl cup/bottle holders! The pictures below describe it better than I can and additional pictures can be provided if necessary. Jim Spence

Free: Pink Geranium (whole plant or cuttings) - Spence Expired Pink Geranium plant (see photo below). Dug out this morning as part of a major garden makeover. Can be planted as is, divided, or cuttings taken. These plants grow easily with minimal care and we already have plenty. Help yourself at 25 Boote St Spence (near the letterbox). If there is no interest it will still have a suitable end (green waste). Jim Spence

Free: Adjustable "Kneeler" chair - Spence Expired My knees are way past using this chair, but it was very comfortable in the past and promoted good posture. It is on wheels for easy mobility and folds flat for convenient storage. It is sturdy can be used as is, but replacing the upholstery would be an easy task on this simple piece of furniture. Picture below. Cheers Jim Spence

Free: Child's folding camp chair - Spence Gifted Small folding camp chair for a young child. Now too small for any of our grown up grandchildren. Seat height is about 30 cm and the height to the top of the back of the chair is about 50 cm. See photo below. Cheers Jim Spence

Free: Adjustable computer desk - Spence Expired The computer desk shown in the two photos below is no longer needed but is in good condition. The keyboard platform has adjustable height, the two side "tables" fold down if/when not needed and the two upper shelves can be re-positioned if needed. It is on castor wheels so can easily be moved around. It gives a lot of usable surface area in a compact package. Another Computer desk will probably be available soon (watch this space), but it is a different design. Jim Spence

Free: Mains powered computer speakers - Spence Gifted The speakers shown below have are mains (240v) powered, *not USB* and have a 2 mm output plug (as also seen in the photo below) for the computer or other suitable device. They also have their own volume control. They have been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years but were working well when last used. Can be left out for easy collection by a reliable Freecycler. Cheers Jim Spence

Free: UPDATE > Breville Whizz food chopper/mixer working, with most accessories & instruction book - Spence Expired Another update - the original instruction book has now been found to go with this device. See the previous posting for the pictures. --------------------------------------------------------- Since my first post about this Breville kitchen "Whiz Professional", I have found the original accessories which have never been used (as shown in the picture below). So the device is usable with these accessories, but *not with the damaged cutting blade, which is still NOT included*. Jim Spence

So the device is usable with these accessories, but *not with the damaged cutting blade, which is still NOT included*. I may even be able to come up with the original instruction book (but don't count on that).

Free: Breville Whizz food chopper/mixer (no blade) - Spence Gifted This Breville Kitchen chopper/mixer still runs well with its powerful 900 watt motor, but the blade (also pictured below) *is not included* because it has started to shed bits of plastic into the food. I doubt a replacement blade would be available as the device is probably about 10 years old, but it might be useful if the other parts are needed by someone. Alternatively, he base with its powerful motor might be adapted by some clever Freecycler for a totally different use. I don't know how to otherwise responsibly dispose of it. Jim Spence

Request: gal pipe clamps (60 mm outside diameter) - Spence Expired I am constructing a shelter for my vegetable garden using some 60 mm (2 inch) outside diameter galvanized pipe (probably vastly over engineered, but that is what I have. But to join them together I need some matching clamps, either four of the right angle type shown below, or 8 of the "T" shaped ones. But "beggars can't be choosers", so I will take what I can get if you have something, provided it will fit the 60 mm (2 inch) outside diameter pipe I already have. . Thanks Jim Spence

Free: Decorative glass panel from beside front door (door not included) - Spence Expired The decorative glass panel shown in the picture below was just removed this morning from beside our front door and is still in good condition, so it would be a shame for it to go to the tip. *379 mm wide, 1910 mm high and about 6 mm thick*. It has a pleasant pattern and a slightly "pinkish"(?) tinge It is of course very fragile, so will need very careful transport using a suitably sized vehicle. I can wrap it as best I can in cardboard. As always, reliable pickup is much appreciated, and particularly asap in this case, as the longer it stays here, the more likely it will get broken. Jim Spence

Free: wooden clock face (20 cm diameter) - Spence Expired The 20 cm diameter wooden clock faces shown below was made by my deceased brother-in-law many years ago. He *never got around to fitting an actual clock movement to it* , but that wouldn't be hard to find. Reliable pickup is greatly appreciated. Jim Spence

Free: Old Dick Smith analog multimeter = Spence Expired A VERY old Dick Smith analog multimeter (NOT DIGITAL, it has a dial withe a needle) complete with cable probes. Untested and destined for the bin unless wanted by a collector. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it :-) Jim Spence

Free: IRC "Resist-O-Guide" - Spence Gifted A must have for the collector of old electronics, or maybe even still useful to someone. About 110 x 50 mm, this is a small cardboard circular slide rule where you line up the colours from a resistor and it gives its resistance value in ohms. The one I am offering is well used but a picture of a similar one in better condition (copied from the Internet) is shown below. If no-one wants it it will go in the recycling Jim Spence

Free: Large Stuffed Tiger - Spence Gifted Not a real Tiger, but a very realistic one. As can be seen in the photo below, it is about half a metre high and a metre long (not including the tail!). I like it a lot, but unfortunately my wife does not, so it is available to someone who can make good use of it (household decoration, child's toy, or maybe a prop for theatrics?). I will be very interested to hear what ideas you have for it. Reliable pickup appreciated Jim Spence

Free: 2-burner Coleman Camping Stove - Spence Gifted Haven't used this camping stove (Coleman model 425E) for many, many years, but it served our family well when camping. it has been well stored and is in good condition. As shown in the picture below it comes with the original documentation and still has some fuel ("Shellite") in the tank, which I used to make sure it still fired it up. It folds down into a package about 450 mm long, 300 mm wide and 120 mm high Happy for this to go to someone who can use it as it was intended. Reliable pickup appreciated. Jim Spence

Request: concrete step treads or 600 x 600 mm strong pavers - Spence Expired I am installing a large (about 2 m x 0.6 m) raised planter box that includes a water tank underneath to capture the used water - enough said, it will be heavy when full and will need a strong level foundation on the ground beneath. So I am after some strong concrete step treads (any one doing renovations?) OR some 600 x 600 mm *strong* concrete pavers. Thanks Jim Spence

Free: Luggage bags - Spence Expired Two pieces of large luggage suitable for travel or storage, as listed below and shown in the attached photograph. (1) 600 x 400 x 200 mm (height, width, depth) good condition with wheels and a retractable handle. Has lots of pockets and an expansion zipper to make it an extra 100 mm deep (total 300 mm). (2) 600 x 400 x 200 mm (height, width, depth) a bit scruffy, but otherwise OK. No wheels. but there is a built in stand so it can stand vertically. Ok for travel, but probably better for storage. Take one or both. Reliable pick up appreciated Jim Spence
