110volt Singer Sewing Machine (Kensington)
Expired
An excellent Singer sewing machine in near new condition - it even includes the box! The hitch is that it runs on 110 volts, with a USA plug. It originally came from the US. You will need a transformer of the appropriate size to convert our higher voltage electricity to the lower voltage. They are available in stores like Jaycar, and on the internet, ebay etc. I'm told it works perfectly.

Vintage Lawnmower Resto Project (Kensington)
Expired
I used one of these in the 1960s, so it is around that vintage. Doesn't start and will need some parts and work. However, the piston goes up and down freely and without concerning noises. It is visible through the totally rusted out exhaust! A couple of the wheels don't turn but I believe they can be freed up. The starter turns, but the locking lever has snapped off (I think I still have it). I can't get the fuel cap off but some WD40 and patience should fix that. Ask questions if you want. I really believe it is restorable, but there is a fair bit of work involved.
