A random lamp with angle adjusting joints. Needed a wipe down and a buff but works fine.

An ABS high end gaming PC, or some such. It booted to windows but shut down after a minute or so. We managed to see temperature readings in the BIOS and they were high. Turns out the liquid coolant pump on the CPU was dead and this was probably the reason for discard.

We just plonked in a whole new liquid cooling circuit and it works fine.
A weird little side table on wheels. Not clear excatly what the intended purpose is, but it has been conveyed to a place where a new owner may come up with that on their own.

Two very heavy brass lamps. These have a significant scrap value of brass but will be better used lighting the room of somebody who has insufficient light at present. They came with pretty fancy LED bulbs in them.

An Ikea dining table complete with extending leaves. Dusty but in good condition. It is the worst quality with some weird plastic veneer on top of compressed wood chips. But will function for somebody who currently has no table.

A somewhat modern and complex Hoover upright vacuum cleaner. Suction was weak so we just cleaned out the cyclone and all the isnides and now it is fine. The air driven brush on the uphosletry attachment was not spinnging so we cleaned out the bearing on that and now it is fine also. Ready for a new home.

A Dyson V10 vacuum cleaner. When we found it it pulsed then stopped. It turns out this behaviour is a diagnostic indicator that there is a blockage somewhere. The filter was fine but there was pile of hairball type stuff in the main chute going into the cyclone. We cleaned that out and it works fine.
