JVC stack system hifi - Vintage 1987 (Balloch G83)
Gifted
62d
- 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.

Pair of Calico Curtains (Balloch G83)
Expired
97d
- 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.

Gifted
110d
- 2 Tall boxes with hanging rail for moving clothes. 20" x 19" wide and 49" high. The metal bars have 30 grooves for hangers, but depending on thickness of the clothes you would use less. They are assembled. Very useful if you are moving house and want to move your clothes on their hangers. They are strong boxes.

- A cluster of 7 hanging bowl lights - no longer needed. There are 3. Most have working bulbs - they take the G9 3w LED Bulb. Thought I would put it here before they go to the dump. Sadly charity shops can't take electric items.

Metal side arms of a day bed .. upcycle project? (Lower Bevendean BN2)
Gifted
1y
- 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 ...

Large Ken Hom carbon steel wok - 32 cm (Lower Bevendean BN2)
Gifted
1y
- 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.
