Mortar dye, red (Levenshulme M12)
Red mortar dye. The tin originally contained 1 kg of powder and my estimate is that a little more than half remains in the tin. It is a powder that is mixed into the mortar so that the mortar seams acquire a colour similar to that of red clay bricks. The final colour depends on the type of cement used, and how much dye powder was added. The process is simple enough but matching to existing colours can take some experimentation. Please note, this is not a paint that you can brush or spray onto an existing wall. It is a powder that is used if you are building a new wall or repointing an existing wall. It is added to the cement / mortar powder before adding water and mixing. Collection will be from Longsight, M12, not far from Crowcroft Park. Please provide a contact name and contact telephone number.

Broken 'Asus X59GL' laptop computer (Levenshulme M12)
Please note, if you are looking for a laptop to use right away for school-work or business, this is NOT suitable. This laptop is offered for repair, or for taking apart to reuse its innards. Brand: Asus. Model: X59GL. Screen: 15.6 inches In terms of both technology and prior deployments, this is an old laptop. Originally acquired in 2009 it has travelled far and has been worked hard. They keyboard doesn't reveal the age and prior use because the original keyboard literally wore-out and was replaced, as were the screen hinges. The critical problems are with the screen. It started having vertical lines on the left-third of the screen. These were present most of the time, but not always. Then, very recently, the backlight stopped working. Video is still available via HDMI (after pressing the appropriate keys) and, I presume, it will still appear on the VGA port, but I haven't tried. The vertical lines are only almost constant (i.e. very occasionally the image is perfect) and hence I suspect that the lines are due to a connector or cable problem rather than a fault with the screen or integrated circuits. The cause of the backlight malfunction is not known and hasn't been investigated. The other recalled problem is that the lid-catches have been removed (possibly they broke, but I no longer recall). The hard-disk has been removed but the laptop originally contained a 250GB SATA disk, and most recently contained a 1GB SHDD device. It will boot from USB but the USB ports are only USB2.0. The BIOS is a 2006 edition, and does not implement UEFI. The originally supplied operating system was Microsoft Vista, and the recovery disk for this is present. In its working life it operated with various editions of OpenSUSE GNU/Linux ... probably starting with v11.1 or v13.1, but just before the backlight stopped working I booted OpenSUSE 15.6 from a USB-attached drive and was running the computer with that. The motherboard has two Pentium 64-bit cores running at 2GHz, and 4GB of RAM. For web-browsing, document editing and similar 'administrative' tasks the performance was always more than adequate. The power-supply is not original. The case has a crack, and there are some scratches. As far as I know, the screen problems are the only functional problems. The DVD hasn't been used for a long-time but was working when last used. Likewise the SD slot, and WiFi. The audio ports also haven't been used recently but were heavily used in the past so might be worn. Ethernet, USB, HDMI and the built-in speakers were all in use recently. The laptop is now back in its original packing materials and carton. The original manuals (for what little they are worth) are present, as are the original CDs (not recently tested so might have degraded). Collection will be from Longsight, M12, near Crowcroft Park. If you could make use of this laptop and would like to be considered, please provide a contact name and contact telephone number. Thank you.

Single electrical socket face-plate, "Knightsbridge". (Levenshulme M12)
Never used. Came out of the bag only long-enough for me to recognise that I'd bought the wrong thing, and then again to be photographed for this Freegle post. "Knightsbridge" brand, screwless single-gang, unswitched socket. It will need to be mounted on knightsbridge (or compatible, if such exist) back-box. Please check the pictures to be sure you can actually fit it onto your back-boxes, otherwise you'll be making the same mistake I made. It is SCREWLESS therefore it does NOT SCREW onto regular back-boxes. Collection will be from Longsight, M12, near Crowcroft Park. Nearest bus routes include the 150 and 192. If you'd like to be considered, please provide a contact name and a contact telephone number. Thank you.
