Free: Surround speakers (West End GU24) Promised This is a pair of surround speakers. They are approximately 30cm x 21cm x 11cm. Working order (I believe - they were when stored and I've tested one of them just now) and in good condition. I've had them in storage for a long time. Hopefully, someone else will get some use out of them. One of the photos has the other specs. They have spring clip terminals. These are OK as surround speakers, but I would not recommend as replacements for normal stereo (e.g. bookshelf speakers etc) as they don't have much low-down response.

Free: Kenwood food processor (West End GU24) Gifted This is a very old, but fully functional unbroken and clean food processor. It is a smaller capacity type (about 1.3 L). Has pulse and continuous mode. Comes with attachments as shown. Freegling simply because we have bought a larger capacity one.

Free: B&Q "Colours" taupe/beige (ceiling) fabric lampshade (West End GU24) Gifted Good condition. My wife decided it didn't suit her room. Don't tell her, but I think this looks nicer than the one she's replacing it with :-O. I've said "ceiling". I suppose it could be used on a table lamp, but don't hold me to it. You will need a standard reducer ring (cheap and widely available) if being used with a standard UK pendant type fitting. Pen in the picture for scale. Approx 28 cm diameter and 19 cm high. For up to 60W bulbs (although I have no idea why they keep using that when we all use LED bulbs now :-) ).

Free: Logitech S5500 1.3 MP camera / web cam (West End GU24) Gifted This is an older webcam with microphone which just plugs in to a USB socket. Fully working. It has a physical slide cover to cover the lens and mute the microphone if you are concerned about privacy. It's not as hi res or good quality in lower light as today's cameras but still more than adequate for calls etc. Probably more suitable for someone who is comfortable with installing drivers on Windows. Windows will automatically install a generic "USB Video Device" driver when the camera is installed. The image may be no good however and you would need to have a way to change settings. You can install Microsoft Skype for free as one way to do this. The audio/video settings in Skype will allow adjusting the camera settings and picture and will stay set for use in other applications like Zoom. OBS can also adjust settings if you use that. The Windows camera app will not work properly with the camera unless yo install a driver (see below). I was using it on Windows 10 64-bit with a Logitech driver, but the Logitech driver is not now available on the Logitech site. It is easy to find elsewhere by searching, but the usual care is needed to check any downloads. I don't know if it is possible to use with Windows 11 or MacOS. One source is: This is the version I was using and I just reuploaded the driver package from that site to Virustotal and it was undetected. Use your own usual precautions of course.

Free: 2.4m parasol (West End GU24) Gifted 2.4m diameter parasol with wind up and down handle and tilt. It was originally a taupe colour but is faded to a light beige as shown in photos. The parasol cover is usable as is, but you may wish to wash/dye?. The frame and pole needs a wipe over, but is in good condition. All working. There IS NO BASE. The pole diameter is a fairly standard 38 mm. Surplus because we bought a slightly larger one rather than there being anything wrong with it. I am usually very flexible on collection. This week is slightly more tricky due to having a car in for work and not knowing when we may need to collect. But I'm sure we can arrange something and I can if needed, leave out for collection on an agreed day/time if we won't be around.

Free: Shoei CX-1V clear visor with Pinlock (plus unused spare) (West End GU24) Expired Genuine Shoei visor. Used, not perfect, but I believe still very usable and certainly good as a spare clear if you normally use a tinted one for example. Has a light scratch from top edge down to about 5mm inslide Pinlock area. I don't see it once wearing. There's a pinlock fitted, but I don't know whether or not that still seals. Spare Pinlock is I believe unused (it still has protective plastic on). Will only be given to someone who turns up with a compatible helmet (XR1000, Raid 2, Multitec).
