SONY CFS201L Radio Cassette Recorder (cassette not working) (Primrose LA1)
Promised
OFFERED: A SONY CFS-201L Radio Cassette Recorder, finished in white and powered via a mains lead or (optionally) 6 x R20 batteries. It is quite old, and I cannot get the cassette mechanism to work. It sounds like it is trying to play something, but nothing moves. The radio function, on the other hand, is fine. The radio settings are SW/MW/LW/FM, which will give you a clue as to its age, and tuning is obviously manual. For younger Freeglers, that means there are no digital displays, and you have to turn knobs and dials to change anything...! It also has a headphones socket, but I haven't tested that. BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.

Bed Lever for Slatted Bed Base (Mobility Aid) - LIKE NEW (Primrose LA1)
Promised
OFFERED: White-painted Metal Bed Lever for a Slatted Bed. This device is intended to be used by someone who may struggle to get up out of a bed, or who needs to grab hold of something in order to reposition themselves while in bed. This version is compatible only with a slatted bed base, and NOT suitable for a divan base. It must be securely strapped to the bed frame in the correct position for the user, and the weight of the mattress and the person in the bed are what keep it securely in position.

Old School Books - German Language novels, with margin notes (Primrose LA1)
OFFERED: I have no idea why I have kept these so long, but I have three of my old German lesson school books (1974/75), complete with pencil margin notes of either the odd translation of a word or phrase, or just a clarification of what was going on in the plot. Irrungen, Wirrungen, by Theodor Fontane Und Sagte Kein Einziges Wort, by Heinrich Boll Tonio Kroger, by Thomas Mann All are rather worn, from being carried around in a school briefcase for months, and the spine of Tonio Kroger has been repaired with sticky tape. The pages of the Heinrich Boll book are quite yellowed around the edges. (I don't THINK I wrote anything rude in them...) May be of interest to anyone studying German, or who is just a Germanophile!

Battery-operated LED Fairy Lights - OUTDOOR/INDOOR (Primrose LA1)
Gifted
OFFERED: A set of working Battery-powered LED Fairy lights, intended for outdoor use, but suitable for indoors too. The light string is pretty long. I haven't measured it, but estimate it may be about 10 metres. The lights work, but looked rather dim on the batteries I tried them with, though they may look brighter with fresher batteries! The green plastic control box has two buttons on it, one for power on/off and the other for changing the light pulse frequency, and there is a screw for tightening the lid against a rubber seal for optimum weather protection. Frankly I am not sure either button works as it should! I managed to select "Continuous ON" and opted to switch the lights off by removing a battery, which worked for me. BATTERIES NOT SUPPLIED.

Slazenger Badminton Racquet with protective head cover (Primrose LA1)
Gifted
OFFERED: A well-used but good condition Slazenger badminton racquet, with its original protective racquet head cover. A fairly basic racquet, I think this was the one I used when I first played regularly (1980s...). There are no broken strings, but a couple in the middle have clearly been replaced. The handle grip tape is starting to loosen and could do with relacing, which is a pretty easy job.

Dunlop Pro Series 90 Tennis Racquet with Protective Cover (Primrose LA1)
Gifted
OFFERED: A Dunlop Pro Series 90 Tennis Racquet with a protective head cover. The racquet itself is in very good condition, with no string damage or historic repairs. It does need a new handle grip, however. I bought it new many years ago (can't remember if it was 1980s or 1990s) but it was looked after and really not used very much.

Pair of wooden frames (Primrose LA1)
Gifted
OFFERED: I have two wooden frames requiring re-homing. The rectangular one is 60cm x 40cm, and used to house a thin and rather tatty corkboard, since removed and discarded. The smaller square one is 30cm x 30cm and was originally the frame for a white picture canvas. I say white... it had been painted on by someone with enthusiasm but no talent! I am sure these could be put to a new use by one of you budding creatives out there...

LED Christmas Candle Arch - not working (Primrose LA1)
Gifted
OFFERED: An LED Christmas Candle light decoration, mounted on a wooden arch. I am sure this worked in the summer when I came across it, but it doesn't seem to work now, for some reason. I tried changing the fuse, but it made no difference. I wonder if perhaps just one bulb has gone, and it won't work unless they are all okay, like old Christmas tree lights used to do...? Anybody handy with such things? You are welcome to take it and see what you can do with it. Still quite decorative as it stands, I think!
