Free: JVC stack system hifi - Vintage 1987 (Balloch G83) Gifted Black 3 piece stack system with speakers. Turntable, amp and tuner, 2 speakers. Been in 2 boxes for 20 years. Have not tested it so unsure if everything works. Just wondering if they can be rehomed here before going to recycling depot. Maybe for spare parts if you are into vintage kit? No photos as they are still in boxes. Google the info on attached instructions. I have the cables.

Free: Pair of Calico Curtains (Balloch G83) Expired Width approx 4.4m with at least a 2m drop EACH. There is a 40 cm bit of hem that needs tacking on one of them. Together they are quite a heavy weight, otherwise I would take to charity shop on the bus .. too much to carry! The tape is currently pulled taught on 55 inches each. They wash well too. Can't use them now so they need a new home. Collection Levenvale.

Free: Metal side arms of a day bed .. upcycle project? (Lower Bevendean BN2) Gifted I have spare side arms of my metal day bed. They are an antique gold colour. No real purpose without the rest of the metal bed, however could be used in a garden for climbing plants, or buried in the ground, place apart with netting over to cover veg plants. Just placing this here before they go to the tip. If anything it is recycling metal. Someone clever could upcycle these ...

Free: Large Ken Hom carbon steel wok - 32 cm (Lower Bevendean BN2) Gifted A well cared for vintage ken Hom carbon steel wok. I've had it since 1989! These go on for ever if you look after them. I just don't have the room for it anymore. This is not a nonstick wok. You need to season it after each use. First wash it in very hot water and then heat up a little oil in the wok and wipe the oil around the wok with kitchen towel.
