Ex integrated fridge (Kennington OX1)
Withdrawn
Does anyone have a use for an old fridge that kind of works, or the parts? It still cooled but struggled to cool enough, and I couldn't find any way to get to the thermostat in case that was the issue. Also the door had a tendency to randomly open of it's own accord. The door is now separate because it was built in to the cupboard door, but hinges are available. There are also assorted shelves. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Free:
Partially working fairy lights (Kennington OX1)
A long string of 'old-fashioned' (i.e. not LED) fairy lights, partially working. Originally this was a very long string which has been broken. This section (still several metres) has at least three working sections and potentially could be fully working if the faulty bulbs could be identified. Includes a tub of bulbs taken from the broken off end, most of which are probably working. It needs someone with the time and patience to work through to identify and replace the problem bulbs. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Beaters for Kenwood mixer (Kennington OX1)
Withdrawn
Does anyone have any beaters like this for a Kenwood kitchen mixer, please? The plastic bits on mine have succumbed to stress. The critical part seems to be the little flanges which must be centred exactly 3cm from the end. Alternatively, does anyone have beaters and want the body of the mixer which still works perfectly?

Base of a small oil lamp. At least I think that's what it is, although I have no idea how you could actually fill it! The base is the size to fit on the palm of your hand and sounds as though it's filled with something like gravel. It still has a wick, and the winding mechanism works.
