Free: Three-Quarter Size Viola (Waterloo L22) This was kindly given to me recently, but turned out to unsuitable for me as an adult because of its size. I think it would great for a young person, say 10-13. Viola parts, being often a lower part in a piece (comparable with alto or tenor singing) are often felt to be the most enjoyable - and that's why I wanted a viola rather than a violin. On this one the case is somewhat worn though still functional, there's no bow and if it were me I'd give it a new set of strings as well.

Free: Five High Quality Surround Sound Speakers (Waterloo L22) Gifted These speakers, Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 series, were kindly given to me for a project I was engaged in. In the event they turned out to be unsuitable for my particular purpose. They work fine, however. There are 4 satellite speakers (two front, two rear) and one centre speaker (in its correct horizontal position in the photo). There's no subwoofer, though I can give you a Samsung subwoofer which should do the job if you need one. The tweeters of the satellites can be disconnected externally if desired. Dimensions are: Satellite (x4): 35 x 18.4 x 25.5; and Centre: 16.4 x 46 x 16.5. Measurements are in cm. Will split if I have to, but preference will be given to whoever can take all 5 speakers.

Request: Largish Subwoofer for Soundbar (Waterloo L22) Expired Hi. Some of you may have seen my request for a faulty Orbitsound soundbar for parts for one I was working on. Well, I managed to fix the soundbar itself, but I still need a subwoofer speaker to complete the job. So if anyone has one that's taking up space and not being used I'd very much appreciate being considered for it. Many thanks.

Request: Faulty Orbitsound Soundbar (Waterloo L22) Expired Hi folks. I'm in the process of repairing an old Orbitsound T12v3 Soundbar, but some of the parts are missing. Something similar but not working or only partially working would greatly increase my chances of success. I can collect more or less any time by arrangement. Many thanks. Regards. Tony

Free: Toshiba 42 inch TV with Remote (Waterloo L22) Gifted Old type non-smart TV, Model Number 42RV665T. I've hung on to this set for some years even though I didn't really need it; the reason is the fantastic picture (see photos taken off-screen). It's quite heavy, though not as heavy as most TVs of its time. It has an internal Freeview tuner (Standard Definition only) but to get HD stations you can use a Freeview box such as a Humax; or to make it "smart" perhaps a Chromecast or Firestick - though I haven't tried those. It has 4 HDMI sockets and USB for photo viewing, as well as many other connections. Two able-bodied people will be needed to pick it up as the property is two flights up, and, as I say, the TV is quite heavy. Normally I'd be happy to help but I am convalescing, and lifting right now is strictly taboo. Pickup is any time by arrangement.

Free: Three-Wheeler Walker (Waterloo L22) Expired This was recently given to me for a relative, but following surgery it turns out she is unable to use it. It has what looks like a bag for shopping, but no seat. It appears to be in perfect condition with virtually no wear on the tyres. Collection from Waterloo L22.

Free: Bread Maker (Waterloo L22) Gifted This basic machine is quite old but still makes lovely bread in 1 lb and11⁄2 lb sizes. It can be a little bumpy on the kneading cycle - especially if the ingredient proportions aren't quite right; but I think this is fairly normal. I've given it a clean, using oven cleaner around the space behind the heating element which can become stained. Comes with manual containing instructions and recipes for best results.

Free: Electric Rice Cooker (Waterloo L22) Gifted As in the photos. I haven't used it for a while but it was working perfectly last time. The heater works and the two indicator lights work, so it's fair to assume the unit is fully working. I believe a rice cooker can be used as a small slow cooker, though I never tried this myself.

Free: Offside Headlight Assembly for Nissan Micra K11 (1997-2002) (Waterloo L22) Expired As in the pictures - the larger size from the later model. Bought from a car dismantler for £20 but in the event not needed. Bulb not included. Offered free on here. This is the second posting. Parts for these great little cars are getting scarce, so please only ask for this one if it is to be used for its proper purpose.

Free: Magician's Top Hat and Doctor's Plague Mask (Waterloo L22) Gifted May interest Steampunk aficionados: Collapsible top hat and mask of the type worn by doctors during the plague in the 17th century. Both to go together.

Free: Olympus MD3 Film Camera (Waterloo L22) Gifted This was given away as a freebee when I bought my first digital camera around 2003. It has never been used. It's in its original cardboard box, comes with a carry case, and the originally supplied AAA size batteries are still with it (lol). Please be aware this is not a digital camera - you need 35mm film for it and the film will need to be developed to get your pictures. I know some people like this old technology...

Free: Chord CMJ4CE Cutaway Acoustic-electric Guitar with Soft Bag (Waterloo L22) Gifted This mini-jumbo model has a comfortably narrow neck and a low action. It would particularly suit players with smaller hands, therefore. The scale is 65cm and the overall length is just over 100cm. The strings were replaced a couple of years ago but the instrument has hardly been played since then. (Personally I would fit a lighter set next time.) It has a built-in preamplifier with 4-band equaliser for connection to an external power amplifier and comes with a vinyl bag.

Free: Pair of 200W Vintage Celestion Speakers (Waterloo L22) Gifted These 3-way speakers could do with some cosmetic tidying up, particularly where the black faux veneer has peeled. But their size and shape make for good audio quality. Impedance is 4 ohms and the maximum amplifier input is 200 W. Dimensions are approximately 90cm tall x 27cm wide x 30cm deep (35"x10.5"x11.75") and they're quite heavy.

Free: Three VCRs from c. 2005 (Waterloo L22) Gifted Two are identical Panasonic Super VHS models both of which are working, though one doesn't have its remote control and has a bit of a grainy picture; this one could be a source of spares for the the other one. The third machine is a standard VHS model with long play and that too is is without its remote control.

Free: Men's Angus Westley Slip-On Shoes (Waterloo L22) Expired Men's tan slip-on shoes, size 41. Reasonable condition but with some wear to heel outer edges (see pictures). Should polish up nicely. I no longer wear them as I need a little more support than these provide.
