Sun clock (Toton NG9)

The clock isn't working - needs a new battery powered movement (easily available). Tap into your "Repair Shop" skills and bring it back from it's flaky and slightly corroded state to a statement piece for the wall?

Two brass rising butt hinges, one brass hinge (Toton NG9)
Expired
Brass hinge and rising butt hinges do not look like they have been used, neither does the single brass hinge. The steel hinges have been used and you can see paint on them. It would be a shame to dump the brass hinges in the non-ferrous skip at the minicipal tip (but the steel ones can go in the ferrous skip with no qualms. Anyone interested?

Double sided laser printer (Toton NG9)

Samsung Express M2825ND double sided network printer. Hasn't been used for 5 years, so toner cartridge will need a tap and good shake I expect. Looks mottled in photo as I used a damp cloth to wipe dust off. Comes with mains lead and network cable. Manual and drivers can be found here:

Beer making complete kit (ingredients past best-by date) (Toton NG9)
Gifted
A present that sadly I never got around to making. The bottles, siphon, spoon, sealed bucket, instructions etc., are all there, it's just the wheat and hops (?!?) that are past their best-by date.

Laser Printer - that has a foible (Toton NG9)
Gifted
On the other hand the printer may be perfect and the problem lay with the toner cartridge. Worked well for three years or so, then when I put a new toner cartridge in, it would print a couple of sheets, then say "empty". Taking the toner cartridge out, shaking it (as one does when the toner cartridge is getting empty) solved the problem for a few more sheets. This repeated itself. Another new toner cartridge was bought, but exhibited the same problem. These were "compatible" toner cartridges, as I found they gave better prints than authentic cartidges... well at least when the printer was new. Could it be the powder has "caked" and just needs a more vigorous shake? Could a toner cartridge from another supplier work A-OK? I don't want to do the hard work trying to sort it out! So if you are up for trying, it's yours - collection at a mutually convenient time. Samsung Xpress M2026: comes with mains lead, but not USB lead. Generally in good condition.
