Free: Philips DS9000/12 Docking station - spares or repair (Coley Ave Area RG1) I have two of these, neither of which powers up any more. So - for an electronics/hifi enthusiast who might be able to make up one working one from two non-working ones. They were top of the range in their time, and delivered accurate and blisteringly loud sound from a docked iPhone (I used a 12-pin to Lightning cable for more recent iPhones), or via the 3.5mm stereo AUX in. Got a brilliant review from What Hi Fi back in the day. But if you’re interested in this you probably know that already.

Free: 12V cigar lighter - three port adaptor (Coley Ave Area RG1) Withdrawn plugs into the cigar lighter socket to give three 12V outputs. Found during clear-out of old car stuff. I assume it works otherwise I would've got rid.

Free: S/H Electrical Accessories (switches, sockets etc) (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted Box of electrical accessories All taken out of customers' houses during rewiring/kitchen remodelling, and were working fine when removed. These are mainly white plastic. Most will need a clean-up, but they will generally come up looking pretty good if you use industrial wipes and a plastic scraper to remove paint. Includes fused 13 amp spurs, double and single sockets, light switches, cooker control switches, back boxes and pattresses.

Request: Sink unit (Coley Ave Area RG1) Withdrawn I’m after a stainless steel sink unit preferably with tap and waste. I need a unit to use as a temporary sink while I strip out the existing kitchen. So, condition and configuration doesn’t matter that much. I had one ready to use as, but somebody nicked it from our drive this morning. If needs be, I can remove an existing unit for you and cap off the pipework.

Free: TV distribution amplifiers (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted MaIns powered TV distribution amplifiers removed from customer's loft during property refurbishment. Not tested, but working as far as I know - in good condition as loft was boarded and clean.

Free: Office chair - height adjustable with arms (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted Height adjustable with arms, so comfortable to sit in for extended periods. Ruggedly made. No rips or tears and everything works as it should - I've moved to a standing desk and I need the room so this has to go.

87d

Free: Stuart Turner Monsoon twin booster pump (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted Designed to boost hot and cold to 2bar for two bathrooms. Don't know if it works as it's been in the cellar for ten years but maybe worth a punt as they're £300+ new these days

103d

Free: Orbital car body polisher (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted Used a couple of times then had my van resprayed and it's been in the cellar since. EDIT: Lots of interest in this already, including from the usual suspects who just ask for everything. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow evening before deciding - gives people who don't have instant access to Freegle a chance.

Free: Dell Latitude D400 Docking Station (Coley Ave Area RG1) Gifted Fits following Dell models: D410 D420 D430 D500 PR01X "This Port Replicator / Docking station allows for permanent connection of peripheral devices at your desk with no need to keep plugging / unplugging cables each time you want to work. Taking your Dell from the office to home or moving it from one room to another will no longer require disconnecting and reconnecting several devices. The docking station replicates all of the connectors and ports from your laptop and routes the connectors to the back of the dock.Worked fine last time I used it." No longer have the laptop so I can't test it, but had very little use and is in good nick.

Has DVI & D-Sub connections plus USB pass-through.

Request: GPO KLU2 switchboard (Coley Ave Area RG1) Expired We're a local community theatre and registered charity We're looking for a GPO [which became BT] office switchboard, the type that was used in offices everywhere. They had a row [or rows] of switches that allowed multiple calls to be answered/directed/put on hold. The play is set in a minicab office in the late 1970s. so needs a means of our character seeming to answer calls on multiple lines. Thinking of something beige or brown plastic, similar to the attached photo. Doesn't have to be working

Request: GPO KLU2 small switchboard (University Area RG1) Expired We're a local community theatre and registered charity We're looking for a GPO [which became BT] office switchboard, the type that was used in offices everywhere. They had a row [or rows] of switches that allowed multiple calls to be answered/directed/put on hold. The play is set in a minicab office in the late 1970s. so needs a means of our character seeming to answer calls on multiple lines. I understand from another Freegler that what we need is the KLU2.

Free: Large box of clean biodegradable bubble wrap (Coley Ave Area RG1) Expired Reposting due to time waster who said they would collect but never did. From a very well-packed delivery last week - amazed at the amount of stuff they used but at least it's biodegradable so it can be recycled. Seems a shame to just burst it and put it in the recycling bin, so wondered if anybody needs some packing materials.

Request: GPO PMBX desktop switchboard (University Area RG1) Expired We're a local community theatre and registered charity We're looking for a GPO [which became BT] office switchboard, the type that was used in offices everywhere. Also a telephonist's headset if possible. They had a row [or rows] of switches that allowed multiple calls to be answered/directed/put on hold.

Free: Large fake tree/trunk -theatre set (University Area RG1) Expired Large fake tree trunk constructed for theatre set Bespoke construction for theatre production. Made from foam board, chicken wire and carved fire-rated expanding foam, so safe for stage use and effectively waterproof [we had live “rain” in the production] Realistic-looking “bark” finish - similar to oak. Could be repainted/re textured if required. Approximately eight feet tall, two and a half feet in diameter. Light enough for v. easy two-person lift [although I did manage to put it into place on my own fairly easily]. Seems a shame to just smash it up and put it in the waste, but the theatre has no room to store it permanently [it’s currently in the car park]. Hopefully somebody can find a use for it. note - bench has been dismantled and is not available. Listed for £0.99 as eBay doesn’t seem to allow listing a free item, but I wouldn’t want any payment - the 99p will go to charity. However, if you wanted to make a small donation to our theatre [a registered charity] that would be very welcome. Any questions, drop me a message Collect only from University Area Reading. You’ll need a long wheelbase van. If you are a theatre group who might want it, and you're within a 20 mile radius of Reading, I could probably arrange delivery for the cost of the van hire
