Free: Bouncing chair for babies (Oakridge RG21) Withdrawn Bought second hand about 12 years ago, been in loft for around ten years. Needs reassembling but I believe all bots should be in the bag

Free: Roberts WM-201 Internet Radio (Oakridge RG21) Gifted This belonged to a relative who passed away and has unfortunately sat unused for best part of ten years. Cosmetically it’s in excellent condition. I believe it's fully working, but when I briefly tried to use it, but hit two issues: 1. I don’t believe it supports WPA2 WiFi. 2. When connected via Ethernet, it gives some sort of 'DNS error' mesage. From some further research, I gather it was designed to connect to a service called Receiva - which was shut down a couple of years ago. Internet searches indicate there may be ways to resurrect at least some form of streaming using ether a custom firmware (Sharpfin) or DNS redirect via e.g. a PiHole. In addition to wifi and ethernet, it has Line-in, line-out and headphone socket. Note that it does not have USB or DAB /DAB+/FM. For a radio of it’s size, it’s got a punchy sound when tested via line-in. Comes with remote and instruction manual. I have too many other projects on the go, so need to let it go.

Request: ATX PC Power supply (Oakridge RG21) Received Am looking for a standard sized ATX PSU please. Doesn't need to be anything fancy - an older one with 20 pin motherboard connector and no SATA would be fine. Happy to take a complete midi-tower case or similar if that's easier.

Free: 3x V-Tech Kiddizoom cameras (Oakridge RG21) Expired Three Kiddizoom cameras. Kids grown out of them so no longer needed. They all sort of work, but none of them perfectly. One has a broken battery compartment cover, one I think has temperamental buttons, and the other probably has some other minor fault. They each take 4xAA batteries (not included) and require USB Mini cable of you want to download photos to a PC. Two of them take full size SD cards and one a Micro SD card (again not included) but all also have some built in internal memory too.

Free: centre seat from 3 seater sofa (Oakridge RG21) Expired centre seat from a three seater sofa. reddish brown leather. The sofa was a three seater, with two recliners and this non-recliner in the middle. we rarely used the centre seat and the sofa was too big for lounge, so i removed centre seat and it's up for grabs before it goes to the tip. As the seats either sides were recliners, it works as a self contained seat, and no fabric/leather had to be cut to remove it. If i had the space to use it elsewhere, i'd be keeping it, but sadly I don't.
