Free: WIMAXIT 13.3 inch HDMI monitor (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) 1920 x 1080 Monitor complete with fitting to attach to a microphone stand (which can be removed if not required). Powered either via MICRO-USB-B, or (supplied) power brick. Has two HDMI inputs, and built-in squawkers (can't really call them speakers like the two page instruction manual suggests). I found the performance adequate (but no better for images, still and moving) but not really usable for text. The menu system works but seemed a bit counter-intuitive to me. Aluminium body.

Free: Computer speakers (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) A pair of powered speakers from the British computer brand "dan" from about 1995. Believed to be fully working as speakers, but may be the amplifier function is broken. They come apart so it should be fairly straightforward to fault-find & repair, at least as a pair of speakers. 16 cm wide, 25 cm high, 16 cm deep.

Free: Bar Code Reader (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) This was used with great success in one of Devon's earliest Community Recycling schemes in the early 2000s. Model number X9000, and if the label is to be believed was actually produced in 2000. Has 6-pin DIN type sockets (in fashion at the time).

Free: RF cable (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) Two lengths each 10m of RF cable as used by UK Smart Meters in areas of difficulty connecting to the network. Each length has female and male SMA connectors, so they can be joined together. Bought in order to test if a smart meter connection was possible in my location. It wasn't, though problem was eventually solved by using a better antenna.

Free: Washing external Windows (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) This two-part gadget magnetically sticks to its partner so that you can wash both the inside and outside surfaces of your windows at the same time. See a similar product shown here Each part has a micro-fibre pad and a nylon squeegee. It does work! (The magnets are necessarily VERY strong - supervision advised if children are tempted to play with them)

Free: 8" nVidia Shield tablet (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) Gifted Boxed and complete with a "rubber" protective case. This device has a Micro-USB-B connector, so I've provided a short lead to allow charging from "normal" USB-2. Device details here /

Free: Electrical Modules (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) Gifted Three modules from AliExpress. Front and back views in the photos. I honestly can't remember what I had in mind when I bought them some years back, so have no idea what they are intended to do! They have terminals for DC power in (3-15v), and two more for "Motor" connection. If you fancy having a play with them for a project, they're yours...

Free: Dining Table & 4 chairs (Sandford, near Crediton EX17) Gifted An extremely solid and robust dining table with "pull-out" extensions. The normal closed-up size is 3' 6" wide by 4' 4" long, and the extensions add another 2' 9" to the overall length. The table, which stands 2' 6" high, is not square but has gently rounded corners (see photo). The four chairs are unremarkable but go quite well with the table. For transport the main table top, the two extensions, and the base frame come apart. Some sort of van would probably be needed for tranport.
