Filter Coffee Maker (Waterloo L22)
Gifted
I bought this 2-10 cup coffee maker from Asda some years ago but only used it a few times before switching to espresso using pods or a mocha pot. It makes lovely smooth filter coffee, is in great condition and comes with the original instructions. It has a plastic filter basket and I can provide a few paper filters which can also be used in conjunction with the basket.

Faulty Orbitsound Soundbar (Waterloo L22)
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine (Waterloo L22)
Gifted
This machine makes great coffee, but being one of the earlier models hot water delivery is not automatic. What that means is that you have to time it manually. It's very easy - for each line on the coffee capsule you simply count 5 seconds. For example, espresso has one line marked on the capsule, so you count to five. An Americano Intenso has 7 lines marked on the capsule, so logically you would time the delivery to 35 seconds (though I haven't tried this myself). You can also get refillable capsules online so you can use your own ground coffee - that I have tried and it works well.

Belkin Wireless G Notebook Network Card (Waterloo L22)
Expired
This Network Card may be of use to someone who has an old laptop running Windows 98 (lol!), though it may work in Windows 7-10 as quite a lot of old hardware/software does. It has never been used, is in new condition in its original box and is complete with Installation CD, User Manual and other documents.

High Backed Chairs (Waterloo L22)
Gifted
I have two of these the same as in the pictures. They're made of beech and the squabs have stretch covers. There is a third exactly the same except that it doesn't have a cover for the squab. All are good and solid and in my view too good to throw away. I am happy for one, two or all three to go.

Six Assorted Teapots (Waterloo L22)
Expired
One needs a lid, otherwise all OK. The large colourful one and the smallish blue one are Whittard. I'd prefer all to go as one lot as I desperately need the space, but I will consider separating. I suggest recipient brings a suitable box as I don't seem to have one. I do, however, have some bubble wrap to help protect them.

TV Sound Bar (Waterloo L22)
Gifted
Small Sound Bar in excellent condition. Only a few months old. It works perfectly on any TV (or PC) but because of its length of 38.5 cm is ideally suitable for smaller screen sizes. It has Line, USB and Optical inputs, and Bluetooth. There is no provision for an external sub-woofer bass speaker. It comes with its 12 volt adapter and remote control.
