Free: WiFi repeater. Please read carefully (Walkley S6) Gifted WiFi Repeater. Works, but the plastic earth pin on the rotating plug on the back broke. We fixed it back on with glue (see second picture) and the repair held, but I can’t guarantee it would last, and could potentially break off while in a socket. So if you request this, consider yourself warned!

40d

Free: Jig-Map jigsaw puzzles (Walkley S6) Gifted 2 Jigsaw puzzles of the British Isles and 1 of India, dating from the 1970s. Condition - old and well used. 6 pieces missing from the second British Isles puzzle, but I think the others are intact.

43d

Free: Violin - please read carefully (Walkley S6) Gifted 3/4 size Skylark violin. Please note that this is NOT in playable condition at present - the neck is coming apart from the body (see second picture) and would need re gluing with specialist glue. This would need to be done by a specialist and would probably cost more than buying a comparable instrument second hand or even new (Skylark violins retailed at £25.00 new in the 1980s…). No bow or chin rest, and would also need restringing. The case does not close securely either. But if you are a trainee luthier who wants something to practise your repair skills on, or a visual artist who wants it for a project, get in touch. Priority will be given to someone who can collect by 14th August.
