Petrol monster truck?  Tell me more!

 

Might be worthwhile telling us roughly where pickup is from for the larger items like the TVs.

I'll take the 3D printer, pm on the way.

 

Of more concern are you OK and in a good space at the time. Sounds like you have had some bad news and in no way would like to be seen "taking advantage" of this.

I’m interested in the blinds motors, just confirming if it’s motors only or includes brackets?

Tablets are Samsung SM-T590 and the Lenovo is a 7" Tab 7 Essential. No power supplies but frames included for wall mounting with 3M picture stickies. That's what I use for Home Assistant and these are my previous ones before I moved to a 13.3" Chromebook.

Pickup address is at bottom of listing which is Beach Haven, Auckland. Sony 55" LED is mint and comes with LED's pre-installed ready for WLED Which can be controlled wirelessly by Kodi! I'll reply again shortly with a picture of the monster truck and service kit.

Service case comes with a glow plug igniter panel and an electric fuel pump along with some spares. This thing flies! Just add a 12V alarm battery and you're good to go. Haven't used for years. Must collect from Beach Haven.

I have two Tempest weather station units that have all working sensors but both units wouldn't charge. I dismantled them (easy) and sourced the main battery which I replaced. Both units ran for 2 weeks so I purchased a new base station and pole mount adapter for one of them. Both units paired to the hub and I left them outside until they went flat. After lots of back and forth with Tempest, it seems the tiny (3mm x 3mm) power control IC may be the problem. I sourced 4 of those and tried fitting one but it's so small it's a bit of a mission. I haven't tested the one I replaced the chip in as I got sick shortly thereafter, hence the purge. With all the parts I've purchased, I'll loosing money for sure but I need to cut my losses and move on.

 

So the full kit is one new base station and power supply, two weather stations, two new batteries, 3 new power control IC's (one already fitted). Will ship at buyers expense.
