Free: Humax PVR (needs repair) (Glyne Gap TN40) Promised Humax HDR 2000 T 1Tb Personal Video Recorder designed to record Freeview programs. This would better suit someone with the skill set to attempt a home repair or in search of parts. I can no longer use the Humax PVR as it is unable to complete deleting. Online advice suggests the most likely explanation for this is a failed hard-drive. I would have looked into replacing the hard-drive (they cost about £50) but I have another Humax PVR and only need one. Comes with power, aerial and HDMI cables plus remote control. From memory, the Humax is about five years old . The PVR gave good service other than subtitles for ITV and Channel 4 persistently slipping from sync.

Free: Vintage A4Tech Webcam (Glyne Gap TN40) Withdrawn This is about ten years old and was one of the cheaper webcams then available. According to Google, these "legacy devices (often featuring 480p to 720p resolutions and older USB 1.1/2.0 interfaces), require specific legacy drivers or UVC (USB Video Class) compliance to function on modern Windows 10/11 or Mac systems." It has a telescopic stand with a maximum height of 33cm and the lead is 100cm long. I think there is a built in microphone. I always used a headset for conference calls do did explore that option. No longer need as my new monitor as a built-in camera.

Free: Battery Powered Sound Bar (Glyne Gap TN40) Gifted This is a Zhichuang Y7 Sound Bar, also sold as the Bakeey Y7, and about five years old. It is not designed as a TV sound bar. It has: Dual channels with bass diaphragm Rechargeable lithium battery 3.5mm socket Slot for a micro-card. A remote control. I was able to Bluetooth pair with an older smart phone but have not been able to do this with a more recent phone. So unless you know how to overcome the pairing issue, the only way to connect will be via a cable with a 3.5mm jack, which I am not providing. Or possibly via the USB charging cable that I am providing. I assume, you could play mp3 recordings without connecting by inserting a micro-card. I have never tried this. The bar is 43 cm long. Please note I won't be able to respond till Monday evening.

Free: Potted Amaryllis (Glyne Gap TN40) Gifted Will produce stunning red flowers if looked after.

Request: Decking - Composite or Preserved Wood (Glyne Gap TN40) Received Do you have any surplus decking? I want to improve the warmth of my coldframe as I lost plants stored in it during the winter.

Free: Van Haus Corded Angle Grinder (Glyne Gap TN40) Gifted This has stopped working. I think the problem is the switch, which has been temperamental for sometime. It's the basic model (900w?), about five years old and only used about a dozen times. I have never replaced the cutting disc so all the others that came with it are untouched. So probably for someone with knack for fixing things or who just wants the discs.
