Free: 1980s hi-fi, in need of TLC (New Bilton CV22) Some 1980s hi-fi separates that need attention. Don't even think about taking them if you don't have a soldering iron and the time and skill to use it. Sansui AU-G11X amplifier. This works - well the lights come on anyway, I have not tested the inputs and outputs. But the power on/off switch has disappeared, so it's now got an inline switch on the power lead. The actual button is still present, it just doesn't do anything. Really not a difficult fix if you can track down a new latching pushbutton switch. Philips CD610/45B. This works too (display lights up, drawer goes in and out) but it also has a dodgy power button. At least in this case it's all there though, it just doesn't make electrical contact unless you hold it juuuust there. No, out a bit, there! Probably fixable with contact cleaner. Sansui TU-D33XL. Nothing obviously wrong with this, the display lights up, buttons appear to work. Only good for AM/FM/LW as DAB wasn't invented when this was made. Lovely stuff, expensive in its day, borderline worthless now unless you have a love for repair.

Free: HD Ready 32" Sony LCD TV (New Bilton CV22) Gifted Great condition with new remote control and looks like it will last forever. Weighs a ton. Only 32" display but looks bigger. It's 20 years old and receives digital Freeview TV signals but is not 'smart'. I hooked it up to my laptop for the picture as our aerial doesn't work. It's got an HDMI input so would work with a Firestick or Apple TV box or similar if you want to hook it up to internet TV. Comes with mains cable and remote but nothing else.

Free: Chicken wire (New Bilton CV22) Gifted Nearly a full reel, unused, 1m width. No idea how long, but presumably either nearly 5m or nearly 10m

Free: Hose reel, no hose (New Bilton CV22) Gifted This has the Hoselok fittings for water to come in at the side and supply the hose. It can be wall mounted, although I’m not sure if I have the mounting clips. No actual hose , you’ll have to provide some

Free: Ladies Bicycle (Poulton GL7) Expired Good condition but hasn’t been used for a few years. Both tyres have gone flat and I can’t find the pump, so whilst they probably hold air, I can’t be sure.

Free: Seasoned wood and chicken wire (Poulton GL7) Gifted Tidying out the garage and found a lot of wood that's been there for years, ideal for a wood-burning stove. And a lot of chicken wire.

Free: Two large pieces of laminated glass (Churchill Square area BN1) Expired These are 6.4mm thick laminated safety glass, so very solid and pretty heavy. We used them as secondary double-glazing, but we are now vacating the flat so they have to go. Sizes are 1250mm x 1470mm and 1230mm x 1495mm I imagine they could be cut down to a smaller size by any local glass-cutter. However, you will need a roof rack or a van to move them as they're unlikely to fit in your car. We can help with loading them onto your car or van if necessary.

Free: Double bed divan base (New Bilton CV22) Gifted Blue-ish colour, sprung top, made in two parts so you'd get it into a hatchback or estate car. The two parts clip together easily. It's not particularly old and is in pretty good condition. I'd say perfect but there is some fluffiness where the cat has had a go at it, a picture of the worst bit is included. It's only going because our new mattress apparently needed a matching divan base, so we had to buy it one. This is a lightweight item but bulky, much easier for two people to handle than one. Happy to help you load it into your car if you need it. Original mattress available too if you want it.
