Free: Bedside table with drawer (CB2 near Cambridge Station) 41cm W x 41cm D x 72cm H There is a strip of veneer missing at the top front, it's a standard size and type, I think the sort you just iron on, so would be easy to replace if you want. Otherwise, it's in pretty good shape (the drawer works fine etc.).

Free: Gas hob trivet for small pans etc (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted 130mm enamelled trivet for gas hob to allow small pans, moka pots etc. to be used. Worked fine for me for a year, but now I've changed my hob to induction!

Free: Two pictures (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted The first is 28cm×28cm and the second is 39cm×39cm. Both are mounted on wooden frames. The smaller has a small hook on the back and both can easily be hung on a nail or picture hook.

Free: Krups GVX2 coffee grinder (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted Recently excavated from the attic where it was stored for a goodly number of years, I have tested this machine and it's working OK (I've made my daily coffee with it for the last fortnight or so). Comes with manual. I already have a grinder, so don't need to keep it!

Free: Tall wide bookcase (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted Pre-Ikea flatpack bookcase (190cm H x 119cm W x 28cm D) in pretty good nick, just some fairly inconspicuous cosmetic damage (mainly a chip or two to the veneer at floor level). It's been in the family longer than I've been alive, but I've now upgraded to fitted bookshelves. Most of the shelves except the middle one are adjustable—the photo shows a slightly asymmetric arrangement I used to accommodate some taller books. I have disassembled it ready for transport (will most likely need a car), labelled all the significant pieces (most of the shelves are interchangeable), and bagged the fixings. Needs two flat-bladed screwdrivers to assemble—I can give the taker a run-down on how it goes together.

86d

Free: Ikea Bonde shelves with doors etc (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted Ikea Bonde tall shelves (about 7 feet tall), with various accessories: a long glass door (fits one half vertically), a square solid door (fits the full width), and also two large drawers (these were custom-made: the original Bonde unit had drawers for CDs/DVDs that had no side or bottom; I remade them into old-fashioned regular drawers for the post-DVD age). All fittings and accessories included. Assembly instructions for all bits are available online, including for the customised drawers, which are fitted to runners in exactly the same way as the original CD/DVD drawers were. There are some superficial scuffs, but the unit is on the whole in good condition. (I'm only getting rid of it to install wall-mounted bookshelves.) Please be aware that it's fairly large and heavy—when I myself collected it from Trash Nothing some years ago I happily lived only a street away from the donor, but you'll probably want a car or at least a trolley to collect if you're coming more than a few yards!

Free: Gaggia coffee machine (NEEDS WORK) (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted Gaggia Cubika (2004 model). It had been in storage for about 15 years. I got it out, descaled it, and even made coffee with it, but the coffee basket leaks, and there was still a lot of scale inside. Most importantly, it needs a new rubber gasket, and having partially disassembled the machine, I found that the gasket was so thoroughly perished that it would need more patience or expertise than I possess to get it off. I was able to get some enormous bits of scale out of the innards around the valve, and clean them up somewhat. The UK Gaggia agents still sell spare parts, such as the aforementioned gasket; a new shower plate may also be needed, though I was able to get it fairly clean. In short, it's a lovely machine that just needs a relatively cheap spare part and quite a bit of work to get it working nicely. I left it partly disassembled, and have bagged all the small parts (screws etc.). Information about taking it apart and getting it back together is findable online.

Free: Mains adaptor 12V/1.0A output (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Gifted Mains adaptor with (as best I can measure it) 2.1mm width plug (shown in close-up), outputting 12V/1.0A. It is brand new and unused; it came with an electronic gadget but was the wrong spec! It seems to match the spec for some broadband routers (as I found while rummaging around to see if I had an adaptor that would work with my new gadget!), and no doubt other similar things.

Request: USB keyboard (CB2 near Cambridge Station) Expired I'd like a USB keyboard, UK or US layout, for occasional use with a server, so not at all fussy about style/age etc. I'd just like one with all the keys working, as both my old keyboards have developed non-working keys, and don't seem amenable to repair!
