Compact Radio/CD Hi-Fi (Ilkeston DE7 4)
Gifted
Panasonic mini hi-fi with stereo speakers and special aerial wires. Works well on radio, but have not tried CD or tape for years so I honestly don’t know about those. Tape port has a loose cover that should be spring loaded shut. Has been in daily use as our kitchen radio. Height is just short of 8” (200mm), but it’s very deep so needs a shelf that’s at least 11” deep.

Standard Lamp Shade (Ilkeston DE7 4)
Expired

It’s been plugged in to check it works, but it needs a clean up. The wooden bar on top was for securing a tumble drier up there but it should peel off ok. Should be fine for a garage or for keeping pet food etc. Size 33” high x 21.5” wide x 24” deep. It’s at a friends house in Ilkeston but I’ll accompany you there if interested.

Holly Boughs with Berries (Ilkeston DE7 4)
Gifted
Anyone wanting decorative holly branches with lots of bright red berries? A bit early for Christmas but I’m afraid there’s a lot going to the garden waste tip any day now. Bring a sack or builders bag with gloves and secateurs/lopper and take as much as wanted from the cuttings pile.
