Panasonic digital cordless phone handset (Hornsey N8)
Gifted
Panasonic digital cordless phone handset for landline, with instruction booklet. Portable rechargeable landline phone with charging base station, and 2 cables: one with plug to go in power socket, the other with RJ11 telephone port (small square plug) which used to go into the landline telephone wall socket. Analogue landlines have now moved to VoIP, but the handset still works, you just have to plug it in differently. The RJ11 router goes into the back of your broadband router, instead of into the telephone wall socket BUT you may need a small adapter, which your broadband provider will supply.

Singer sewing machine in case, instruction book, accessories (Hornsey N8)
Gifted
Singer sewing machine comes with carry case, original instruction booklet, free spare light bulb, zipper foot and roller foot. Needs 1 replacement part but recently serviced so in good working order apart from that. This Singer Stylist 533 sewing machine was recently serviced (see receipt) and was working perfectly… until the feed shaft worm gear gave out 😬 . It was old and the plastic had deteriorated. The replacement part only costs £12.50 but it would need to be fitted by a professional, or someone who knows the innerds of a sewing machine. Part needed is available from Singer website: singermachines.co.uk and it is called “feed shaft worm gear for Singer 400, 500 series.” Machine used to belong to my mum and has done many years sterling service for her, and for me. It is a solid piece of kit, weighing in at 11 kilos including the carry case (so a car is essential for collection). Carry case measures 43 x 36 x 24 cms. Free spare bulb and zipper foot and roller foot included (as well as the standard foot on the machine). Roller foot is for sewing thicker fabrics, heavy knits and textured/napped fabrics. Various collection times available but not 0815-0915 or 2.45-4pm during term time (School Street in operation).
