Free: Selection of generic bright LED torches and bike brackets (Bishopston BS7) I used to use these as bike front lights, but the vibration was a bit much and the front lenses would drop off. Many other uses possible. Batteries are either 3 x AAA, or preferably 18650 3.7V Li-ion. There's a couple of batteries provided but I have mislaid the charger. Chargers are available cheaply from ebay.

Free: Vintage Home-brew Maplin Stereo Audio Mixer for Restoration (Bishopston BS7) Gifted This was constructed from the Maplin Electronics "Extra High Fidelity Stereo Mixer" kits available from the late 1970s and early 1980s and designed by Peter Cole. My budget didn’t stretch to buying the enclosure, so I made one myself. There are no mic inputs, just line, and no tone controls. It powers up. I haven't used it for decades so not sure how usable it is now. I will provide copies of the schematics and build documentation. There's about a mile of cable in there, and of course, it's all built with leaded solder. Expect noisy pots and switches, dry joints and mysterious hums. To help me choose who I should give this to, please say a few words about what you would do with it.
