Phone Adaptors (Manningtree CO11) 4d - A bag full of adaptors that let you plug into phone lines in all sorts of countries. Bought in the days of dial-up Internet when they were extremely useful to travellers. Don't know if anyone still has any use for them now but thought I'd try.

Very old DAB Radio (East Ipswich IP3) 4d - This is an ancient DAB radio which is no longer of much use for its original purpose as most DAB radio stations have gone to DAB Plus, which this radio doesn't support. There is no FM tuner, so all it can receive is what's left on old-style DAB... all of one station in this part of the world. If you are interested in the radio please let me know what you intend to use it for.
