Free: Faulty 4K 28" Monitor (Fakenham NR21) I bought this new, A Neutron labs 28" monitor for repair. I have replaced 3 faulty capacitors, however, that didn't fix the fault. There are 3 more on the board that I did not test, the ones I replaced were visually faulty, the others were not puffed up so I didn't test them. It comes with the original box and power supply. I don't think the actual screen is at fault. Anyway, I can't be bothered with it now as I bought a new one. I can't find the handbook at the moment.

Free: 4 slice toaster (Fakenham NR21) A Cookworks ST-6232 toaster. It has been well used and the lettering around the controls is quite worn. It is clean and toasts as it should. The left hand lever has to be pushed down hard as it may not lock otherwise.

Free: Decorative flintlock pistol for refurb. (Fakenham NR21) Expired This is a decorative pistol only. There are no working parts. The trigger is missing as are parts of the flash pan. The hexagonal barrel has a thin rust film but it can be cleaned and chemically blued or it could be heated and dumped in engine oil. the rest of the metal parts are some kind of soft cast alloy. The wooden stock is not too bad.

Request: Camping stove (Fakenham NR21) Received I would like a camping stove, single burner is adequate so that I can boil a cup of water or heat up some beans etc when I am on a long motor bike ride or a weekend camp. It doesn't have to be a nice shiny one as long as I can clean it up. Even a double burner one would be fine. Thanks

Free: Decorative Flintlock (Fakenham NR21) Expired Here's a wall hanger which is in need of refurbishment. The stock is wood, the barrel is steel hexagonal shape and the decorative bits are some kind of zinc alloy. The trigger is missing. It would have been a fixed, non working part. If you want something to occupy yourself with, maybe this will help.

Free: Graphic pen - hyper tablet (Fakenham NR21) Gifted It's a drawing tablet that plugs into a usb port on a PC. It looks like new but is quite old (back to Windows XP). It may work on other Windows versions but I have not tried it. It may need to be run in compatibility mode, I don't know. You can read all about it in the pictures.

Request: Sewing machine (Fakenham NR21) Expired I have just found out that my sewing machine tensioner is broken and the part I need is unavailable. No wonder I was having so much difficulty getting decent stitches. So I would like a sewing machine that works or a Singer 317 that has the part I need.

Request: Pair of jeans any size for sewing practice. (Fakenham NR21) Received I am trying to learn how to use a sewing machine so that I can turn up some jeans and trousers. I had a piece of denim to work with but have now used it all and got nowhere. I've spent 2 days fiddling with tension settings but I can't get it right so I need a lot more material to practice on. If you only have a spare leg that would do.

Free: An old metal detector (Fakenham NR21) Gifted This requires a PP3 battery. It makes a noise but I don't know if it actually works or how it is supposed to be used. The case bottom is missing but the battery can be held in by stuffing a sponge or paper in the hole.

Free: An amber traffic beacon. (Fakenham NR21) Expired It's a TrafiBeacon quality item made in England By Dorman. I think it is supposed to run on 24v but I tried it and it works well on 12v. The rubber base is frilly around the edges and it doesn't stick to the car roof so it needs attention or maybe some magnets glued in under the rubber. It has a Hella type plug fitted.

It has floor pedals as well and comes with the power supply in the box with manual. Also a Logitech force feedback joystick but there is no power supply with it. These work with windows 7 but they may well work with later versions or in compatibility mode.

Request: CB radio microphone (Holbeach PE12) Expired I need a microphone for an old CB radio. In fact I need 2, Plugs need to be 4 pin types but I think I have at least one somewhere so not essential. If you have something that might be suitable, I would be grateful. Thank you.

Request: Meat grinder (Fakenham NR21) Expired I would like a meat grinder, either manual or electric. I am not too bothered about the condition as I can clean it up. As long as all the parts are there, it would be rather useful for my cooking experiments.
