Free stuff!

[juliet]

Does anyone want any of the following?

• Microwave. Can't remember the details - normal sort of microwave, very little used.
• Separates tuner - about 6 years old, I think, Sony, still working fine (& is good quality) but the front plate is starting to come a little loose (could be glued back on). Pete has bought a digital one instead.
• Separates minidisc player - we basically never use it, & it won't fit on the new stereo stack whatnot. Also decent quality, probably about 5 yrs old, still working fine.

Available for FREE & no money, but you need to collect. Tuner & minidisc would be easy to take on the tube - bulky but light - but microwave is a bit heavier. Could probably still manage it, though.

If we can't give them away, can anyone suggest anywhere we could donate them to? Seems a shame just to chuck away perfectly functional kit. I'm considering Ebay, but it's a bit of a faff & have v little time atm.

Update: Now all claimed!

in croydon the council will take away white goods and if still functional find a good home. if not functional try and fix them or use them for spare parts.

Hrm. Southwark only collects for metal-recycling purposes, which is no good really in this instance. Bother.

Oxfam takes some electrical stuff. Local housing project or similar would probably take the microwave (ask the council?).

I'm tempted by the minidisc player, actually, but I'm sort of reluctant to amass any more big & unnecessary STUFF when I am probably going to have to move to a smaller house/flat within the foreseeable future...

[juliet]

If you already have a separates system, it won't be significantly more STUFF as it just goes in the stack (so the stack becomes slightly taller, but takes up no extra desk/table/floor space). Let me know, anyway...

if it's a recorder as well as a player, can I have 2nd dibs? ;-)

[juliet]

I'll check. I think it probably is.

[juliet]

Yes, it is, so if Janet doesn't want it it's yours.

Er, we already have a spare microwave in the dressing up room...

[juliet]

Hrm, just seen Paul's comment - does that mean you don't want it after all, then?

[ergotia.livejournal.com]

Guess not :)

Would LOVE the microwve for our NEW STUDIO if it's still going - not that i'll use it, but others will!

[juliet]

Except apparently ergotia may not want it after all, see above... in which case you're welcome to it!

[juliet]

I'd like the minidisc player, for my little baby sister. I'll swap it for a crosscut shredder :)
(I haven't forgotten that you want it, I'm just looking for a handy time to get it down to you)

[juliet]

Sorry, already taken (either by Jan or by mzdt, see above) :-( Shredder - that's OK, whenever suits you!

[sbp.livejournal.com]

I'll go for the radio.

[juliet]

Hurrah! That's the lot, then. Want to nab it on Saturday?

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

Bah! Why do I have to live a long long way from Bermondsey?
