We saw:

-Cindy From US-NY-New York City: a portable solar radio Etón Microlink FR160 2013 It does not charge so it will not play. I did get a new battery, and it still does not work, but I wonder if it is because the new battery did not come charged. https://www.amazon.com/American-Microlink-Self-Powered-Flashlight-ARCFR160WXR/dp/B001QTXKCE

-Anya From UK-Fife-Blebocraigs: Handheld blender Kenwood HB710 2014 It packed up when I tried to blend some dates. Stopped suddenly. Not worked since. But I tried to get someone local to fix it but they never got back to me. Probably wasn't worth it. Not sure if it's possible even to open it up. Never done this before!

-Lisa From US-CO-Lakewood: sewing machine kenmore 158.1787180 Makes loud noise when pushing the pedal At previous fixit clinic figured it was either the motor or pedal but didn't have the tools needed to test the pedal.  Now I have a voltage meter and need further help with diagnosis initial presentation: https://youtu.be/f0IOd_8dd04?t=632 report back: https://youtu.be/f0IOd_8dd04?t=3694
