Free: Multimeter (Yate BS37) Digital multimeter and leads. It has a slight fault - every so often it displays phantom readings instead of zero! Twiddling the switch makes it ok. It could be as simple as needing a new battery but I've got other meters so don't use this one.

Request: Aiwa XC700 CD player hifi separate (Yate BS37) Many years ago I Freecycled my 1990's Aiwa XC700 CD player as I had bought a replacement. I always regretted it. Does anyone have one unused gathering dust somewhere? This is a wild shot, but no harm in asking!

Free: Windows 10 desktop PC (Yate BS37) Gifted I recently upgraded my PC and have built the old components into an old casing. It's a big tower and not very pretty but it's running Windows 10.

I'll put a clean install of Win 10 Pro on it but you'll need to activate it to use all the features (codes cost less than £4 BTW).

The chisel/pick shown in the photos is not included though.

Please say when you could collect. BTW I ignore one line 'Can I have it' type requests and please don't ask for it if you have no intention of collecting
