Free: pushbike headlight for dynamo (City Centre NR1) Withdrawn Basta make, needs a halogen bulb, the one in it is burned out. I now use an LED light so this is going spare.

On the map, there's a blue spot and a green house symbol. The house symbol is in the right place.

Free: Megger insulation tester, incomplete. (City Centre NR1) Gifted Evershed & Vignoles 250v Megger. I had a use for it which involved removing the scale and connecting a high value resistor in series with the output. Now surplus to reqs. It is essentially a hand-operated a.c. generator. Someone into tech/electrical stuff may have a use for it. In good working order but the resistance scale isn't there any more. Size 15 x 10 x 6 cm. On the map there's a blue spot and a green house symbol. The house is in the right place.

Free: Dishwasher (City Centre NR1) Expired Zanussi dishwasher has error 30 water leaking into base of machine. Have new machine, shame to dump one that may be of use to somebody.

155d

Free: PAT tester (City Centre NR1) Gifted Seaward make. With all leads. I was given this by an electrician who says it's working, but it hasn't been calibrated recently for professional use. Norwich Repair Cafe has bought a new tester so this one is now redundant.

157d

Free: PAT tester (City Centre NR1) Gifted IRWIN Pat tester. This is about 40 years old and doesn't have a setting for smaller appliances - it sends a 25 amp current through the earth wire and measures the voltage. If this exceeds 2.5V the Earth Fault light comes on. It also applies a high voltage between conductors to test the insulation. It hasn't got a calibration certificate so you may wish to satisfy yourself that it's ok to use.

157d

Free: Tent/awning (City Centre NR1) Expired Khyam Motordome large tent/awning in used but fair condition. It's big and heavy and I'm now a bit long in the tooth to use it comfortably. A small amount of remedial work is needed, nothing technical, will explain in detail if you're interested in having it. Norwich near NCFC football ground.

Free: Tent/awning (City Centre NR1) Expired Khayam Motordome, blue. I bought this recently in used condition and it leaked. I treated it with Fabsil waterproofer afterwards but haven't been able to test if it's waterproof now. My problem is that it is big and heavy, takes a lot of space in my shed, and my garden is too small to put it up and dry it if I have to take it home wet. It needs lots of pegs, those supplied with it are flimsy and bend easily, so I've recycled them. A few guy ropes have been lost (they are available to buy, c.£4 in most outlets). If you are a strong young person with a big enough garden/shed/garage, this might be good for you. If you provide pegs I'm willing to go a short distance, say 5m radius of Norwich, to show you how it goes up. It can stand with only 4 pegs, but not advisable if it's windy. The divider cloth in the sleeping compartment is torn but it's an easy mend. Designed to attach to a van but can work as a standalone tent. Poles for the main frame are attached to the fabric and all seem to be in good condition. N.B. Was promised but taker realised it would be unsuitable for free standing on a patio, which was what they wanted, and kindly contacted me to let me know.

200d

Free: Thermostat for air fryer (City Centre NR1) Expired Brand new. Bought this for our air fryer - sorry gone now so can't tell you make/model. Then the fryer was damaged beyond repair before I started work. These fryers seem to be identical, probably all made in the same factory. Thermostat is rated at 10 amps so will be suitable for any fryer up to 2.5 Kw. The fryers are fiddly to take apart but it can be done ! If your fryer won't turn off, the thermostat contacts have welded together, and this is the part you need. Norwich near NCFC football ground

206d

Free: UHF microphones (City Centre NR1) Expired Black Prosound make, each has 4 selectable UHF bands. I can't test them. However it seems v. unlikely that the fault is in the microphones, as the receiver doesn't pick up from either of them. I think Prosound is a badge of Maplins where I bought the system. They are no longer trading, and I have tried unsuccessfully to buy a used receiver online, so the mics. are no use to me. Someone could use them if they have the right receiver.

215d

221d

Free: Scales (City Centre NR1) Gifted "Body Fat Scale" - don't ask me I haven't a clue what that means. Weighs in Stones/Kg and probably does some other clever things, too techy for me. Just put a new battery in and the display lights up. Was working fine when last used. NR1 near NCFC stadium.

239d

Free: LED striplight (City Centre NR1) Gifted MEXLLEX LED striplight. Unwanted present. Not a single light but many leds on a strip, with a controller to change modes. Can be single colour or flashing different colours. Sorry no picture but it has been tested and working fine.
