Good quality wood and steel bedframe, some evidence of cat on the footboard (scratches). The frame is just a headboard and a footboard with a pair of steel angle iron rails in between (see pictures). There are four optional, adjustable wheels that fit to the frame allowing the bed height to be adjusted and easier movement.

Old keyboard, spares or repair. (Kelsall CW6)
Expired
Armon Super Piano portable keyboard, with lid and stand in a carry bag, 70s or 80s vintage. Full size keys, 6 octaves, sliders for vibrato and phasing etc. It requires repair as one of the divider chips has failed (TMS 3614 or equivalent). All chips are socketed so a repair would be easy if you can source the chip. Once fixed it would make a good practice keyboard but the sound is not good enough for performance.

Thingummy (Bowdon WA14)
Gifted
I don't know what it is but it is 7' 6" long , 14 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" deep. It is made up of blue painted steel tubes of about 1/2" diameter with a deck of 1/4" 5 ply rivetted to cross straps. The tubes at the left hand end come to a point with a hole through, one of which has a bolt with a wing nut. At the other end the tubes do not meet and should be capped off but there is only one of the four left. Suggestions so far are a children's slide or a rather long dog ramp.

Car radio speaker cabinet (Kelsall CW6)
