We are going to Boothstown #RepairCafe this morning.

I expect it will be busy there today. Not sure why, but I have a feeling.

Later we might clear a bit more stuff, and put aside computer related books.

We have another repair cafe tomorrow, so this is a hectic weekend.

@Maker_of_Things @suearcher All the best for the weekend repairs.

We have an electronic blood pressure machine whose battery contacts have corroded because the batteries were left in too long, and the lead from the battery holder to the PCB has snapped off at both ends. I'm going to have a go at cleaning and re-soldering the wire and hope that fixes it. After that, there's an old LED lamp to investigate.

At repair cafe this morning I looked at:

A Dualit Kettle - the switch was burnt out and Dualit have spares, just not for this model!

A baby buggy - the brake cable had snapped, replaced with a bike brake cable and made up the ends to suit.

A selection of gardening cutting tools - sharpened them all and advised on tool care.

A remote control car - unable to help as all the batteries were flat.

A record turntable - It needed a full lube service and replacement drive rubber wheel after being in a loft for 10 years. Client decided to replace with new.

I also found another volunteer would like my Telefunken M24, and a Land Rover front axle. So more stuff out of the house.
