pans/wok (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
A set of pans with wooden handles, and a wok. The frying pan is a bit burnt on the bottom, as is the wok. Not suitable for induction hob, and the wooden handles mean the pans are not really suitable for dishwasher. Plus a couple of spare lids - 16.5cm diameter. No need for everything to go together.

weights for lifting (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
Some metal (bronze) weightlifting-type weights: 4x2kg + 8x1kg. Also 4 larger grey vinyl 2kg weights. No barbell, but there are a couple of short lengths for dumbbells. These are not premoulded dumbells - you have to add the desired weights to the bars to make up the desired load.

cables (video, telephone) (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
Lots of surplus cables - video (mostly scart, one hdmi, some s-video and a few other misc. standards) - pc monitor (vga, dvi-d, some dvi to vga splitters) - some computer disk cables (sata and pata) - phone extension - some coax tv ariel No expectation that you will take everything. Just ask if there's anything you're looking for and I can see if I have something.

DC power adapters (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
Lots of DC power adapters over a wide range of voltages (many 12V, some more, some less). From various devices like old laptops, broadband routers, etc. If you let me know what you need, I can take a look to see if I have anything to match.

Request:
thermometer clamp/probe (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
Perhaps a long-shot, but I'm looking for a thermometer to measure radiators pipes, for balancing. Preferably one that clamps to the pipe, but maybe even one with a probe, as long as it responds reasonably rapidly. Probably not a medical one since those have quite limited range. Analogue or digital; standalone or usb. Thanks, Dave.

bookcase (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
152x84x27cm Not the most beautiful piece of furniture, but quite robust. Some scratches on the top (and probably all over). The big shelf doesn't match the colour of the rest of it. There are guides for sliding doors on the front, but I don't have those. Note that I don't think it would dismantle for transport.

Two small black bags (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
One is a laptop bag, with Citrix logo. The other is a sort of satchel, with Sun logo. Both have a carrying handle and a shoulder strap. Happy to split - no need to take both.

central heatings bits and pieces (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
Salvaged from a recent plumbing refit. Happy to split - no need for everything to go together. 1) Hot water cylinder jacket. 4 pieces of insulation which should be strung together to go around a hot water cylinder. Similar to 2) 3-position motorised valve. Might benefit from a new motor or replacing the motorised part, but that's still a saving over buying new. 3) a 3-speed water pump. 4) controllers: a programable immersion heater switch ; a Honeywell CM67 programmable room thermostat (quite old, but works well) ; a fairly standard gas controller (sliders to allow once or twice per day, or 24 hours).

Found a box of old Empire (film/cinema) magazines, some dating back to 2009.

exit game (mostly playable) (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
If you're familiar with this series, you'll know they're really only designed to be played once, with components being damaged during play. We've tried to take care to minimise damage, so I think it should be possible to get at least one more playthrough out of it.

freeview+ / pvr box (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
An old hard-disk tv recorder. Scart only. Possibly obsolete with catchup-tv, but might be useful for converting an old tv to freeview. Worked last time we used it. I will retest before collection if anyone is interested.

gas hob (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
gas hob, 58cm x 51cm. Works fine, but we've upgraded to induction. One occasional quirk with the ignition from time to time - remind me to demonstrate.

misc. kitchenware (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
Various bits and pieces as pictured. The pans are not induction-compatible, which is why we've had to upgrade them. No lid for the bigger pan, unfortunately. Can split if you don't need everything.

1000-gauge plastic sheeting (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
I need a small piece of plastic sheeting, to wrap up asbestos for disposal. I'm thinking perhaps a plastic sack that was used to deliver building materials ? thanks

old fence posts (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
4/5 old fence posts that have been replaced. Obviously they've rotted at the bottom, but still 5' of fairly sturdy post if it's of use to anyone.

sit-up machine (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
sit-up rocker contraption, as photo. The foam arm-rests are a bit marked and pitted on the underside, but fine on the flat bits where you put your elbows.

HP laserjet 4+ BW laser printer (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Gifted
Quite old. I got this off freecycle a while back and meant to give it a clean/service before passing it on, but never got round to it. Note that this is serial only, so it will be very slow to send pages to it. But if you only print occassionally, laserjets are so much more reliable than inkjets, which always seem to clog up. I can include a serial to usb adapter and a network printer server which should give you access over the network. I'll test it if there's any interest.

two kettles (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
The clearout continues... two ordinary jug kettles (with bases, but I forgot to include those in the photo). I believe both work, but I'll test for sure if there's any interest. Both are a bit scaled, and both had fine mesh filters at the spout, but those have broken. Also, on the black one, the lid is a bit wobbly when it's open, but does seal correctly when it's closed. (We always filled it through the spout, so that has little impact. Of course, that may be what broke the filter.) Like every kettle I've ever owned, these boil for quite a while before they turn themselves off. Maybe one day we'll find one that behaves as I'd want it to.

mismatched hifi separates (Flackwell Heath, HP10)
Expired
Some old hifi separates I found in the attic. Couple of amplifiers, a couple of cassette tape decks, a turntable, and a cdplayer. I think the cd player had a belt slipping somewhere, which meant the drawer could be reluctant to open/close. (Apologies for the delay in replying - I was surprised at how much interest there was...)

old framed rucksack (Flackwell Heath, HP10)

An old, green, framed rucksack - probably the one I used on Duke of Edinburgh excursions several decades ago. A few scratches on the frame.

electric steamer (Flackwell Heath HP19)
Gifted
Found this while clearing out the attic. Works, in that it produces steam, but my recollection is that we stopped using it because there wasn't all that much steam. It probably just needs a good descale, since the water is quite hard here.
