Toshiba RD XS-30 DVD player (Spacey Houses HG3)
Promised
Toshiba RD XS-30 DVD player, with manual and remote. The DVD has SCART input/output and our current TV has no SCART so this isn't really any use to us now. I've included a picture of the back to show what connections it has. It can record to either single DVDs or its internal hard drive. It also works off a normal aerial TV input. I also have SCART leads if these are needed so please ask. This device has no HDMI. It has been wired up with power on but I can't see whats on it since the TV replacement.

Matsui 15" DVD player and monitor (Spacey Houses HG3)
Gifted
Matsui 15" DVD player or monitor. Has SCART, VGA and RF inputs. It doesn't work as a TV anymore unless you have a digital to analogue converter, old style Sky box or similar. I've just tried it with a DVD and it still works fine and it should be OK as a monitor for an older style PC. I've put pictures showing it playing an old DVD of Coast, a pic of the connectors on the back and the original box.
