Camping trailer (Roebuck SG2)
Gifted
Camping trailer, external dimensions 5 x 3 ft x 18inches, deep (internal dimensions 149 x 87 x 45cm), wood on steel chassis. Has spare wheel, prop stand and a rather worn cover. The trailer was bought in 1975 and has been mainly used for an annual camping trip since then, and stored in a garage when not in use. The wooden sides and base are sound but the angle-iron framework on one rear corner of the base needs a welding repair to be safe for carrying heavy loads. I had a quote for £144 for this last year but didn’t get it done because I bought a similar trailer on eBay. Needs to be protected from rain when in storage.

Music centre for spares or repair (Roebuck SG2)
Gifted
Vintage music centre, Sharp Model SG-195E, for spares or repair. Radio, record player & cassette player. I think all three work ok but when the power is switched on it causes a RCD switch on our consumer unit to trip, so I presume the music centret must have a short circuit somewhere. It didn’t do this with our previous old-style fuseboard. Pair of 20W speakers included.

touring kayak (Roebuck SG2)
Gifted
Canoe, single seater, varnished plywood, length 14ft 6in (4.42m), width 24in (61cm). Has been stored in dry garage for the last 30+ years. Varnish has deteriorated round screw heads (some sort of effect of corrosion of the brass screws?) so ideally needs these spots re-varnished before use. Suitable for touring, and straight-line paddling on sea or inland waters. You will need to supply your own paddle, spraydeck (if you want one, but not necessary on flat water) and buoyancy bags for the canoe.
