espresso machine - not working (North Berkeley hills)
DeLonghi expresso maker was working fine until we tried to clean it and afterwards, though it heats up when you turn it on, nothing happens when you try to actually start the brewing process. i.e. no motor sounds. Someone handy may be able to fix it easily or it may really be dead. I hate to just dump it.

self contained gelato maker (Berkeley)
Gifted
I'm reposting this because I think some of the people who responded before gave up when hearing how heavy it is (close to 40 pounds) and the fact that you have to climb some stairs. If you don't have someone to help you fetch it, we will help you get the gelato maker to your car, so please respond. This is a classic gelato maker that needs a new home. Simac Il Gelataio ice cream/gelato maker. This is big and heavy and somewhat fussy to clean, but it makes fabulous gelato or other frozen desserts. We bought it a long time ago, but I just looked it up and e-bay still has multiple postings for this model. And I still have the owner's manual with clear instructions and recipes.

yarns galore (North Berkeley hills)
Gifted
I want to pass on yarn leftover from decades of knitting projects. I've divided the stash into 12 bags of categories that make some kind of sense 😊 Preference to anyone who would take all, but otherwise let me know what you're interested in. If you want to come by and look before committing, that's an option. I'm in North Berkeley hills. If you blow up the photo I've attached you should be able to read the categories.

Beautiful Rajasthani bedcover (North Berkeley hills)
Gifted
80" x 98", fits double or queen size bed. We bought this "mirror cloth" decorative bedcover in Rajasthan in 2001 and it's been sitting in a closet ever since. I'd like someone to have it who will look at it ! Its backing is plain black cloth, and it's rather heavy.

gallons of distilled water (North Berkeley hills)
Expired
I have 24 unopened plastic one-gallon bottles of Arrowhead distilled water that I bought to sterilize some medical equipment that I no longer need. There is a date of 6/30/24 on the back of at least one of the bottles that I assume is a "use by" date, but I can't imagine that it would no longer be okay for use. Please let me know how many bottles you want, and when you can pick up. We're in north Berkeley hills.

3 antique crocheted tablecloths (North Berkeley hills)
Gifted
These are old, probably made in the early 20th century. White cotton, crocheted, some yellowing which can be dealt with. They are pretty sturdy but you'd want to go over them carefully and probably reinforce a few places. But they're quite lovely. Each is more or less 45" x 60".

old fitbit watch (North Berkeley hills)
Gifted
Charge HR model bought in 2015. All the parts are there -- watch, maroon band, charging cable, USB dongle. I just reset it to factory settings and it seems to work but since it's so old I don't whether there would be problems synching it, and I don't know how long it will hold a charge.
