NAD Amplifier 3020A (For Spares) (Penwortham PR1)
Gifted
216d
- I bought this amplifier in February 1983 from the London Bridge branch of Richer Sounds. It has been in use for 40 years. It pre-dates CD players and remote controls. For the last few years it has been connected to my daughters TV. I stupidly decided that it was not wired up in the most appropriate way. I dropped it from a height of about 3 inches and the front panel broke. I always thought the amp would out live me. It still works and has a very warm sound. I have read on the internet that parts for these amps are difficult to come by. This would suit someone who is willing to hunt down a new front panel or needs the parts to repair a similar amplifier.

Framed Artwork (Penwortham PR1)
Expired
313d
- These are my late mother's artwork. They are all framed. Sometimes she got things right other times what she created was rather child like. Everyone in our family has taken one or two but now we are left with some. My mother was convinced that once she died we would put them in the bin. They might suit a classroom, waiting room or a child's bedroom. We don't want to take them to the recycling centre.

Vintage Blow Torches (Penwortham PR1)
Expired
345d
- I don't think these should be used, but if cleaned up they could be decorative items. I remember my father using these in the 1960s and they were old then.

Gazebo (Penwortham PR1)
Gifted
345d
- This is a gazebo that is well made; it was not cheep when it was new. It has metal poles and is made out of a canvass type material not nylon. It is green and white. It does have some minor problems - the guidelines have become detached. My parents used in their garden when they had guests around in the summer. This could be a very good item to have. The reason it is being offered is that my father is approaching 90 years old and we are clearly his rather cluttered garage.

Victorian Embroidery in Maple Frame (Penwortham PR1)
Gifted
1y
- This is from my late mother's house. It is about 75cm by 60 cm. It is a religious scene. I know that if I took it to auction it would fetch about £20-£30 but after fees it would hardly be worth the effort. My mother would have liked to know it was going to someone who wants to put it on their wall. It would suit a Victorian terrace or cottage. I want to give it to someone who is going to put it on their wall and appreciate the work that a young Victorian put into making it. I do not want to give it to someone who thinks they can make a quick £20 at a car boot. Please tell me what you would do with it. I also do not want to offer it to someone who is going to mess me about regarding it's collection.
