Ahhh, quite nice that I still recognise basically every handle! :)

I will try and post more photos later ---especially to reveal more of the extent of the bodges :p

Brief run down of what's what.

Every dish in the photos bar one is working for me; that one that got away goes into a neighbour's flat.

I say the dishes are 'working for me' because some of them were left behind by previous residents; so they were 'inherited' or 'commandeered' and put to productive service; that is the case with the biggest four dishes. The assortment of 70s and 85s I bought; the 70s for about £4 GBP and the 85s for about £8 GBP.

There is a story about one of the stands - which is for later!

So roughly from left to right the dishes get:

1. 7w & 8w
2. 25e & 26e
3. 1.9e & 3e EDIT: this one also has an offset for 4w
4. 45e & 46E
5. 5e & 7e
6. 19e
7. 9e & 10e
8. 39e
9. 39e (yep, no mistake; temporary position of damaged biggest dish; ultimate destination maybe 68e)
10. 52e, 52.5e, 53e
11. 13e &16e
12. 36e focus; 30e+31e & 42e offset.

:)
