elevating bed base and mattress (Easton BS5)
Expired
An elevating bed base (with headboard) and mattress. This is a special bed that can be plugged in to an electric socket and you can then use the controls to raise and lower the head area and the feet area. I've tested this feature and it works. Or you could use it as a normal bed without making use of this feature. Note that it is slightly narrower (and slightly longer) than a normal double - eg the mattress is about 120cm wide instead of standard 135cm, and is about 200cm long instead of standard 190cm. So you are welcome to take the base without the mattress, but if you do, you would need to find a different mattress that fits OK with this non-standard size. Unfortunately, the mattress has been moved to a different location, so if you decide to take both the base and the mattress, you might need to collect from 2 places. Condition: see photos. It's been used with a mattress protector so should be in fairly reasonable (though not perfect) condition. Please make clear when replying whether you want the bed, the mattress, or both.

various mattresses (Easton BS5)
Expired
1) thin futon mattress, OK condition 2) standard mattress, OK condition 3) foam mattress (including memory foam on one side), good condition 4) standard mattress, good condition See photos. All of these are double size mattresses. Note that the bed frame pictured is not available at the moment. Please say clearly when replying which one(s) you want. You don't have to take all of them (unless you want to!) I realise the suggested collection slot is quite short notice, so if it doesn't work for you, I am open to arranging something else. But I will prioritise people who are able to do that collection time. Thanks!

Free:
braille printer (Easton BS5)
Expired
A braille printer. We've tested that it powers on but not been able to test the printing as we don't have the right paper format. The buttons are marked with braille and an electronic voice reads out the various functions/menu items when you press the buttons. It comes with a power cable, serial cable, and an adaptor to be able to plug the serial cable into a USB port. We don't have any drivers/software for it but hopefully that's easy to find online? Or they might autoload when plugged in, depends on your operating system I guess.

washing machine, some probs (Easton BS5)
Gifted
This gorenje washing machine has 2 known problems: 1) You often have to push/hold the door to get the sensor to notice the door is shut so that a wash will start. This is doable. 2) Sometimes the spin fails if a large or heavy load is put in. This can be much more of a pain because it leaves you with dripping wet stuff and you then have to wring stuff out by hand (to make it less heavy) and split it into several smaller loads to get it to spin. Anyway, thought it was worth putting on here in case someone wanted it in a 'better than no washing machine at all' situation - or a 'will have a go at fixing that' situation!

old slide projector (broken?) (Easton BS5)
Expired
Found this, looks like an old Hahnel DB200 slide projector? In a padded case. When I plugged it in the light didn't switch on. No idea if it's a quick fix (new bulb, new fuse) or something more in-depth. If someone is keen, I could be persuaded to try to find a different fuse to test in it.

various bedding (Easton BS5)
Gifted
Several flat bedsheets, fitted bedsheets, duvet covers and mattress protectors. There are about 3 or 4 of each category. All are sized to fit a double bed. Some are brand new. I didn't see any stains when sorting through the pile, but didn't look thoroughly. The overall impression I got of the pile was that things were in decent condition. If there is a particular item you want me to check more carefully I can. If you only want a few of the items, please make that clear when replying!
