Denon receiver (amplifier + tuner) with speakers and remote (Fiveways BN1)
Promised
2d
- Denon receiver (amplifier + tuner) with "bookshelf" 2-way speakers, remote control and cables. Works well as radio (FM/AM), and as an amplifier for phones and TVs etc. to play through the speakers (a cable to plug into headphone jack of phone is included). You can also get bluetooth line-in adapters from about £5 which allows you to use one of the audio inputs of this receiver to wireless stream audio from your phone if you don't want to or can't use the headphone cable. CD player doesn't work (read head moves but it doesn't spin the disc - so the CD spindle motor or spindle motor driver is probably faulty I suppose).

Tool belt (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
20d
- Tool belt - the pouch section is in good condition, and can be used with a normal belt. The belt that comes with it has deteriorated, and needs replacing. 50mm ( 2 inch) webbing strap will work for that (you can reuse the quick release clip - which is in good condition) - I'd guess you can buy that stuff on eBay but I've not looked.

Punch-down tool (Network and phone cable jointing tool) (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
138d
- A "punch down" tool for joining network cable (e.g. cat5e, cat6a etc.) and phone cable - mainly used to join the cables to wall sockets. Works fine, but I previously lost this tool, so I bought another one. Looks identical to the one that's being sold by Screwfix for £12: "Lightweight, easy to use tool for wiring most IDC connections. Includes built-in cutter. Plastic Moulded Handle Wire Extractor Hook & Spudger Attachment Ideal for Networking & Telephone Connections Use with Keystone Jack RJ45 Network Outlets"

Basic main socket tester for checking 13 amp wall sockets (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
146d
- Basic main socket tester for 13 amp wall sockets. Diagram on front gives details of faults detected. By no means as comprehensive a test as you get from an electrician with a £700 Megger mains tester, but it catches two common dangerous fault types (live/neutral swapped and missing earth - both of which usually end up with appliances functioning fine, but a subsequent appliance fault could lead to an electric shock).
Free:

Basic main socket tester for checking 13 amp wall sockets (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
179d
- Basic main socket tester for 13 amp wall sockets. Both lights illuminated means test passed. By no means as comprehensive a test as you get from an electrician with a £700 Megger mains tester, but it catches two common dangerous fault types (live/neutral swapped and missing earth - both of which usually end up with appliances functioning fine, but a subsequent appliance fault could lead to an electric shock).

Canon Printer / Scanner all-in-1 Pixma MX395 (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
234d
- Canon Pixma MX395 colour printer / scanner. Works with Windows (version 7 to 11), MacOS (10.12 up to version 13), and Linux. Hasn't been used for several years. I've checked the scanner works, but not the printer (due to lack of ink). Includes cables, but needs new ink cartridges. Third party replacement cartridges are available on eBay etc. codes PG540 Black & CL541 colour. Alternatively (more involved, but greener and cheaper) you can also get refill kits.

Dishwasher AEG full-size built-in type (Fiveways BN1)
Expired
239d
- AEG Favorit 40010 VI dishwasher, built-in. Available immediately. Will need to be collected (can help you to your vehicle with it). Working order. No longer needed due to new kitchen being fitted. Full-size built-in dishwasher - fits into the same space as standard 60cm wide kitchen cupboard or drawer space, and can either fit under the kitchen counter or within a stack of other units (drawers, cupboards etc.). You fix a cupboard door to it to match your kitchen units (or some other colour / style if you prefer!). Could be used stand-alone. Standard, ECO, "intensive", and 30 minute wash program options + rinse. 3/6/9h delay timer (for using cheap nighttime electricity or daytime solar panel electricity). Works fully, and cleans perfectly well, but: The door hinge spring is weak (I think it's probably stretched and needs replacing), so the door is relatively heavy to close - probably fixable fairly easy and cheaply, but I haven't looked at it - might also be fine with a lighter door on it (the one we have with our kitchen is quite heavy). Has been like that for years and you can still use it, so consider that an optional repair. About 6 weeks ago, it had a minor leak (split hose - was caught by the automatic cut-out without spilling onto the floor etc), which I've fixed, but at some point may need to buy a new official part (£25). Honestly I think the repair will be fine for years to come, but full-disclosure... It was quite easy to work on. I found the full engineers service manual set online (not normally available to the public), so should be relatively easy to attempt any repairs with full comprehensive instructions - I will provide a PDF copy with the dishwasher. Comes with all necessary hoses etc. to connect up, and 2x spare drawer runner wheels (one broke a year or so ago, and was replaced, but they come in a multi-pack).

Magnifier - desk mounted or neck strap for fine detail work (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
250d
- A basic desk-mount or front-worn magnifier for reading fine text, or doing fine detail work. Includes a large low magnification area, and a smaller high magnification for fine detail on small items. I used to use this for electronics soldering (I now use a microscope instead). It is basic but works fine. Can be used with 3x AAA batteries for the built-in LED light. I found it was best worn, but can also be used with the built-in desk mount (needs to have the batteries in for desk-mount so that it balances OK without falling over).
Free:
A3+ large paper size HP Officejet K7100 printer (Fiveways BN1)
Gifted
258d
- HP Officejet K7100 printer. Takes A3 and A3+ printer, so would be good for people who need to print at larger sizes. Works as far as I know - surplus from company shutdown. Probably needs new ink cartridges now, since it hasn't been used for a couple of years (might be OK as-is tho). Works with Windows 10 , and I believe it works with Windows 11 too. Should be fine with Macs as well.
