4. Where possible, bring your own parts; or threads to match clothing repair; or preferred wool colour for darning, e.g. jumpers, socks.
5. Bring what's needed so that the volunteer-repairer can check the item, e.g., for a cassette player, bring a cassette; CD player, bring a CD; television, bring the remote control!
