Free: Rubber tree (Chorlton M21) Gifted This is a good 40 years old, confining it in a small pot has stopped it growing out of hand. If you want it to be bigger you can give it more space, and perhaps food. Seems to cope with neglect very well, though. Collect from Chorlton M21

Free: Intempo "Internet radio" (Chorlton M21) Gifted This was an internet radio, but the service that let you find internet radio stations has closed down and the only ones you can listen to are the three BBC stations I happened to have saved when I found out. How it works: you connect it to your own network (via wifi or ethernet cable) and it will play the radio stations it knows about. You can also play any music stored on a "UPNP server" connected to your network, for example a windows computer, or a network storage device. And you can play music from a device that you plug into the USB port on the front. I think the sound is good for a small box like this, but we're moving and there's not room for everything to come with us. Collect from Chorlton, M21

Free: OLD Freeview recorder - needs new HDD (Chorlton M21) Gifted This is an old DigiFusion FVRT150 - look it up and you'll get an idea of how old it is. Its HDD has failed. You need an 80 - 120 IDE HDD replacement. You can get one from eBay for under £10. You'll also need a 12V/ 5A power supply. But read to the end of this post. Why you might want to do this: It's a Freeview "set-top" box that can pause/rewind the programme you're watching, and record for later viewing. It came with an 80GB 3.5" drive but I replaced it with a 2.5" 160GB laptop drive, which is quieter and uses less power. (The original power supply couldn't manage the demands of the 3.5" HDD.) The FVRT150 can only use 120GB, but that doesn't matter. I had to get an adapter to fit the 2.5" drive. I'll leave it in the machine. You can also do things like adjust the start and end time of the recording, so not limited to the scheduled times, and edit recordings you've made by trimming the start and end. We got a BT Youview box to replace the Digifusion and I was disappointed not to have those options. Why not: We stopped using it when whoever was providing the 14(!) day electronic programme guide killed the service and we were left with only the current day's programmes: that is you could tune to what is on now or set a programme later in the same day to record, but not further ahead than that. Shame. Also it's Freeview only - no internet link or catch-up. If you want to see the enthusiasm people had for these machines, look for the DigiFusion discussions on DigitalSpy. It would be a pity to scrap it if anyone could make use of it, but off to the tip if no response in a week. Collect from Chorlton M21
