Free: Fibreglass double bass case. (Scotforth LA1) Made as a prototype by a small Midlands company c.1980. Large enough to take a full-size double bass with low-C extension (upper bout 57 cm, lower 67, height 186) with space all round. It will accommodate a 3/4 instrument in its gig bag. Two industrial nylon wheels. The case has been in an aircraft hold half a dozen times and chained up in the back of an orchestra pit, when commuting with a bass was not an option. Robust, but not a looker!

Bought second-hand in France in 1990 (but since fitted with a UK plug with the earth pin connected to the chassis).

Free: Makita 18V lawn mower (Scotforth LA1) Gifted Makita DLM330Z 18v LXT Cordless Lawn Mower. 330 mm cut width. It can share an 18V Li-ion battery with your Makita electric drill. (A 4 Ah battery will cut about 100 m2 of lawn, depending on how long the grass is.) This is offered "bare" - i.e. without a battery. It's suitable for people who already have a compatible drill or other Makita 18V tool.

Free: Projector screen 2.5m wide (Scotforth LA1) Gifted Type: DA-LITE 96. Large screen, 2.5 m (approx. 8 ft) wide, 18 kg. Photo shows it half-erected. (I think it is square, but haven't been able to raise it completely.) Appears good condition. When collapsed, it is transported in a canvas bag 8' 6" long (will just fit in a large estate car). It would be ideal for an organisation with 50-seat hall and a 5000 lumen projector.
