Desk (Winterton NR29)
Photographs of the assembled desk were taken as it got loaded in the removal van. The desk is now reduced to its flat-pack components and sitting in our garage and the additional photo shows the underside of the brush filled holes that allow cables to be routed out of sight from beneath the desk. It has a Maple effect finish. The top is made of 25mm chipboard , so commercial use quality. W: 122cm D: 80cm H: 73cm It matches the pedestal drawer unit on another post of mine.

Filing Drawer Pedestal (Winterton NR29)
Promised
Maple wood effect chipboard. Top 25mm Sides and back 18m. This is an office grade unit, not a lightweight domestic thing. It's in generally good order with its original key for locking the drawers, although it is missing one of the bars needed to hold suspension files. There are five castors under it, one of which moves with the lower drawer and that prevents the unit tipping forward. H: 22in W: 16in D: 19.5in It matches the desk in another post of mine:

Rug (Winterton NR29)

Rugs (Winterton NR29)
Promised
We have three of these beige/coffee coloured deep pile rugs! Nominal size 1.6m x 2.3m. Ideally (from our point of view) all would go in a single collection rather than being taken individually. They were in use for some 10 years in a non-smoker, no pet household but might still benefit from a bit of a clean. The photos even show the original price paid! Shudder to think how much they'd cost new today!

Shelf Unit (Winterton NR29)

This shelf was commissioned some 30 years ago and has moved from house to house and is seen in the photos lying on the floor of our new house, where we have no need of it. (That's an A4 ring binder you see to the right.) It's made of 28mm waxed pine board, so not light-weight or the slightest bit flimsy. With 154cm Height of end plates: 74cm Height between shelves: 35.5cm Depth Upper Shelf: 20cm Depth Lower Shelf: 27cm

Hostess Trolley (East Ruston NR12)
Expired
It's a dark oak effect food warmer, including three glass serving dishes all with lids. There's some minor scratching on one of the sliding lids and a slightly wonky castor, but otherwise in fully working order. A house move means we're clearing out things we don't need. We're planning a trip to the tip on Saturday and this will go there if not collected by then.

Sony Trinitron TV and Mini Games Console (East Ruston NR12)
Expired
Both bits of kit unused in 15 years, but believed to be working. The Sony Trinitron TV was well thought of in its day and comes in its original packaging and remote control, but is useless as a TV in the digital age. That's why I'm offering it with a Mini Games console, also unused in 15 years. The best source of information about the joystick may be at: which reminds me of the games built into it. I'm still searching for the instruction manuals for both items It will be fun trying to get it to work as the TV has SCART and aerial connections only. The joystick requires Phono connections. However, a suitable converter appears to be available on Amazon / We've re-arranged the date to visit the tip, so there's a further opportunity to grab this!

Sky Digibox (East Ruston NR12)
Expired
Not used since 2010. Working then and presume it does now, but I know things have changed at Sky. We used to use it with their free service (100 or more channels) Yes, they had to offer a free service under government regulations as we went digital, as not all areas could receive the new digital service when analogue TV stopped broadcasting. It still has the original Free service viewing card. As you can see it dates from before HDMI connections so we are supplying a SCART cable with it. Even comes with the original manual! Will be going to the tip if not claimed by 1 July.

Norfolk Afloat and Anglia Afloat Magazines (East Ruston NR12)
Expired
This is the complete run of 75 copies of Norfolk Afloat magazine that morphed into Anglia Afloat at issue 25. All in excellent condition. The final 20 copies are still in unopened subscribers polythene delivery packaging. I have just offered them to the Museum of the Broads but am yet to receive a reply. However, a house move looms and all may need to go as waste paper by the deadline.

Matching Set of Three Drawer Units (East Ruston NR12)
Gifted
These are three self-assembled dark oak effect melamine faced chipboard drawer units intended for bedroom use, comprising: PLEASE THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WILL TRANSPORT THEM. (I write this in some frustration after three no-shows!) 3 Drawer Unit (Best thought of as a bedside table!) Approximate sizes: W: 15" D: 15.5" H: 24.5" 5 Drawer Unit Approximate sizes: W: 29.5" D: 15.5" H: 29.5" 8 Drawer Unit Approximate sizes: W: 44" D: 15.5" H: 29.5" In generally good condition with no obvious chips or scratches on the tops or fronts. The drawers are a little stiff on their runners, but that's almost certainly solved with a little oil as they haven't been used in the last 10 years. Won't be needed in our new house, Will go to the tip if not claimed by 1 July.

BT Modem/Router and other WiFi Kit (East Ruston NR12)
Gifted
This is old style kit (802.11g/802/11b) not used in the last12 years, but still with original boxes manuals CDs etc. Probably more suitable to a collector than for mainstream use these days. Abandoned using it when we moved to this house (In those days I got between 0.8 and 2.0Mbps Now there's a cabinet in the village but these days a mobile connection is still faster than a landline). Now we're moving again and this kit will be going to the tip if not claimed by anyone.

Challenge Extreme Jig Saw (East Ruston NR12)

I probably abused this drill a bit. Certainly I broke a number of blades when using it. I won't be using it again and it will go to the tip if not claimed before our house move.

Freeview Box and DVB card for PC (East Ruston NR12)
Gifted
Two items. If you have a TV with a non-working tuner the Freeview box will solve your problem. If you have an old desktop PC which can be connected to a TV aerial then you can view and record anything on TV on your PC. Haven't used this kit, but from what I understand it doesn't suffer the problems often found with modern recorders and it will allow you to edit recordings to get rid of adverts in films, etc. Will go to the tip if not claimed before our house move.

Wall Mounted Fan Heater (East Ruston NR12)
Gifted
Black and brushed steel wall mounted fan heater 34" x 19" x 6" with thermostatic control and glowing ember effect. (Lit by a low wattage bulb, the embers are the original chalk dusted stones.

Sharp Hard Disk Video Recorder (East Ruston NR12)
Expired
Not used since moving to our current house in 2013, but working then and no reason to believe it isn't now. We're moving again so need to clear the clutter. Complete with user guide and power supply. As you can see it's pre-HDMI ports, so there's a SCART lead included. We've re-arranged our visit to the tip, so there's still a chance to grab this!

They include a Freeview set top box (good for a TV with broken tuner!) TV card (to turn computer into a TV) Modem/Router and wifi periferals for laptops. external DVD writer, etc. They'll all been sitting unused in a cupboard or under our bed for ten years, but we're moving house soon and they need a new home.

Trio of Fuji Digital Cameras (East Ruston NR12)

Bought and used from new over the last 20 years. Two come with original boxes, CDs and printed manuals. The newest, bought 10 years ago, has damage to the battery lid, so you need to hold it on with a rubber band. Various extras including a cases a wide angle lens, etc. We're moving house and it really is time to start getting rid of things!
