Request: Speakers for art project (Abbeyhill EH7) By speakers I mean audio speakers, for example from a hi-fi, car stereo, computer speakers, however large or small, high fidelity or tinny crappy sound. Just speakers, powered or unpowered. Wired or wireless. As long as they WORK and I can operate them without some boondoggle that was mislaid. This is the only requirement. Exceptions would include anything that needs high voltage to operate, for example guitar amplifiers, etc. Let me know if you have something you think might suit, and we can discuss.

Request: Garden fork (Abbeyhill EH7) Received Unfortunately my garden fork snapped in two while digging, and is now unusable. If anyone has a spare fork they don't need, this would be very helpful for digging my allotment. Can collect within Edinburgh, preferably within 2-3 miles of the city centre.

Free: Big bag of assorted light bulbs (Abbeyhill EH7) Gifted A selection of light bulbs: Incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent. A mix of wattages, and fittings: bayonet and E27 screw mostly. All surplus to requirements as we switched to LEDs. Please note that the photo shows LED bulb boxes, but these contain compact fluorescent bulbs.

Free: Black & Decker Industrial Drill (Abbeyhill EH7) Gifted This is a "vintage" drill that I bought second hand nearly 40 years ago. Still working, a bit noisy (sounds like a jet engine on takeoff) and very heavy. Solid, reliable and looks like a 1950s space ship. I have drilled holes in plenty of brick walls using this beast. Unfortunately I mislaid the chuck key, so haven't used it in a while. May suit a vintage tools enthusiast.

Request: Empty wine bottles (Abbeyhill EH7) Received I make wine at home, and this year I've made rather a lot so have run out of bottles to put it in. If you have some empty wine bottles I can collect, please let me know. Prefer green or brown glass, for corks rather than screw top, though a handful of the latter could be useful too. I'm in Abbeyhill so ideally would collect locally, or within a kilometre or so: Easter Road, Hillside, Meadowbank, Leith Walk, Bellevue, Marionville, Willowbrae. If you live nearby and have some bottles you don't need, get in touch.

Request: Digging bar / fence post spade (Abbeyhill EH7) Expired Looking for a digging bar or fence post spade, to dig holes in heavy soil for fence posts. Obviously I have a conventional spade, but it's too wide for this job. Due to clay and stones, a corkscrew auger/drill is unlikely to work. However if you have the latter, please get in touch as I'll give it a try.

Request: Fence posts (Abbeyhill EH7) Expired Looking for some wooden fence posts to help secure my allotment plot from univited visitors. Any size and quantity considred (within reason). As long as not rotten and can be reused, that's fine. Plese let me know if you have any that are surplus to requirements. Can collect in Edinburgh area.
