- Stork PowerPlus radio with adaptor and user leaflet. Powered by mains or battery (or solar panel if you have a compatible one - mine died). Can store up to 10 stations as presets. Also has an alarm function but i’ve never tried that. It has gone sticky around the display, probably due to sitting in the sun on the kitchen windowsill. That doesn’t affect it. Please give a phone number if you want this item. Doesn’t sound too bad, considering the tiny speaker size , Viv

All in one printer copier scanner phone fax (Caldy Valley CH3)
Gifted
1y
- Brother MFC-680CN All-in-one printer scanner copier with phone and fax as well. It will reduce or enlarge up to A4 paper. All manuals and cables are with it. Not used lately, but I successfully copied something this week and the colour was still ok. I don’t know whether drivers will still be available to connect it to a computer but it says you can print photos directly. And of course you could just use it as a landline phone , but I don’t recall the phone signal quality. This was quite a sophisticated machine in its time but it is slow compared to modern machines.
