Free: BT cordless phones (Fareham PO15) Pair of BT Freestyle 610 DECT phones with big buttons. Base station and sub station. Assumed to be still working, but not tested recently. They plug into the mains so that the handsets stay charged, but the re-chargeable AAA batteries are not included - you will need 4 of them.

Request: Polycarbonate conservatory roof panel (Fareham PO15) Withdrawn This is a long shot but no harm in asking..... One panel of my conservatory roof has been damaged and needs replacing. It is 16mm thick, bronze on the outside, opal on the inside. This was a popular colour combination 25 years ago but is no longer made. Might there be someone who is dismantling or upgrading an old conservatory and is throwing out a panel of this colour? Or if anyone can suggest a contact where I might find one that would be a help. Thanks in advance.

Free: Collectable Rolls Razor. Shaving kit. (Fareham PO15) Gifted Rolls razor outfit, probably from the 1950s. It consists of a wet razor with a blade that can be sharpened and honed by sliding it back and forth inside the box. One side of the box should have an abrasive strip for sharpening, but this is missing. The other side has a leather strip for honing, which is present. You probably won't want to shave with it, but you might be interested to see what your grandad used.

87d

Free: Socket spanner set (Fareham PO15) Gifted Draper Expert socket set. All very shabby and rusty but still quite usable. The box has lost its catches so doesn't close properly.

Free: Cordless drill with dead battery (Fareham PO15) Gifted Budget brand cordless drill with charger. The charger appears to work, but the battery doesn't take a charge. It's a popular 14.4 volt battery size, so if you have a battery from another item you might be able to use the drill.

Free: Collectable etched glass soda syphon (Fareham PO15) Gifted Glass soda syphon with the name "Southern Table Water Co" etched on it. It's more of interest as a decorative item for your bar than for serious use. It's not the sort that takes your own CO2 bulbs. In its day it would have been refilled and charged by the company.

Free: Ring car starter. Needs attention. (Fareham PO15) Gifted Ring Car Starter, emergency battery charger. Please read the following description as it is not usable in its present state. This device contains a 12V battery. If your car battery goes flat, you can then recharge it from this one. That's the theory, but it does require you to keep the charger charged, otherwise it won't be any use when needed. This one has probably never been used and is now completely run down. Whether it can be revived I don't know, but it might give a bit of fun to someone who likes tinkering.

220d

Free: Parkside Jig saw - needs attention (Fareham PO15) Gifted Parkside jig saw. The motor works, but there is a screw missing from the part that holds the blade. Pic 2 shows a square piece with two holes in it. Next to it is one of the screws that holds it in place, but the other one is missing, so the blade can't be secured. Find another screw for it, and you have a usable jig saw.
