desktop computer power supplies (Old Heath CO2)
A couple of old power supplies for desktop computers. They are the older type before SATA discs came out, so might be nearly 20 years old ? (SATA adaptors can be found quite cheap online) They were both working OK but I have nothing to test them on at the moment - take one or take them both ?-\

DJ Deck - possibly for spares (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
One of those variable speed deck things which are used by DJs .. its just the deck - there is no amplifier The motor is working, along with the sync light and the variable speed mechanism. You would need to re attach the drive belt (or possibly find a new one from somewhere) and then sort out the cartridge / stylus / tone-arm department. Alternatively it might be of some use for spare parts :-\

ONE Dell 1908FPt monitor (Old Heath CO2)
Expired
The pictures show TWO monitors, but one has been taken ! Sorry, there’s no HDMI ports on this - just a VGA and DVI connector There’s also a USB hub built in, with 2 USB “outputs” underneath at the rear of the monitor, and 2 more on the side of the screen. The rotary mount allows you to swing it in to portrait mode if desired There is NO mains cable (standard IEC 625 "kettle" type connectors) but I can probably find a spare VGA or DVI cable if you need

Sky HD receiver box with remote (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
Sky HD satellite receiver box ( you need a dish !) with remote As pictured. Unfortunately the “figure of 8” mains lead has gone missing somewhere, but I believe they are not hard to find. Receives most of the Freeview / Freesat channels OK with no viewing card or telephone connection

T95 Android TV Streaming Box (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
T95 TV Streaming Box – “Mini MX+” This one is a rather old version, which I am getting rid of because the Android version installed will not support the latest BBC iPlayer – but I am sure that there are many other uses for these. It was bought a long while ago so I don’t remember the actual specs, so I am guessing that it has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM in there – which would agree with the label Obviously the HDMI port drives the monitor / TV (although there’s a 3.5mm jack marked “AV” as well) 2 USB ports (which means you can plug in a keyboard and mouse – and they work) and a memory card slot marked “TF” RJ45 / Ethernet port is also there, but it has wireless Ethernet built in (I believe it might only be 2.4GHZ though) The remote control works, and the UK 13A power adaptor (which I forgot to photograph) is also included

Short adaptor cable to connect your joystick to a sound card - with a couple of MIDI connctors. I think most of this stuff has gone over to USB now, but it might be of some use to somebody ...

Set of 4 leftover kitchen cupboard doors which have never been used - still in the boxes from MFI / Hygena They are in plain white , apart from the moulded vertical edges which are in some sort of mottled blue / grey.

Pair of Pioneer Speakers (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
Pair of Pioneer SP 240- EY speakers - long since divorced from some sort of mini music centre thing, but still working. They have been extracted from a teenagers bedroom , so I guess they must be bombproof. height 38cm - width 19cm - spec claims 20 watts and 8 ohms

Request:
Floppy Disk Cable / connector (Old Heath CO2)
Received
I am looking for a ribbon cable with a floppy disk edge connector like the one in the picture and I am sure that there is one laying around in a "man drawer" somewhere. Its for one of the (even) older style 5 inch floppy drives which went out of style decades ago. Fingers crossed :-\

Computer AGP Graphics Card (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
Its a PNY / NVidia GeForce 6200 which is a few years old, so it will NOT fit any PCI Express slot - it will only fit the older AGP Style slots. Its only supported up to Windows 7 but I have had it working in a Windows 10 system. You can run 2 monitors at the same time

Fujitsu Desktop Computer (Old Heath CO2)
Gifted
Fujitsu small footprint desktop base unit - 100mm high and 300 mm wide. Model Number: Esprimo E3521 (I guess you can find the specs online) Its a bare unit with no hard disk and no DVD, but it has some sort of LGA775 CPU and has 8GB of memory in it. Graphics are built in to the motherboard and there is a VGA port at the back It has been working this afternoon until I removed the hard disk. It can just about manage to get Windows 10 going, but its painfully slow and would be much better with a SSD fitted ...
