Oops, is it the Paradisa cafe set that has both curved and straight ?
That Dacta set was mentioned at the start of the thread. For $250 you must get
some other nice bits surely ? In AUS, our Dacta range must be limited.

Frank, you got me excited there. I won 3 separate auctions, brown pieces, grey

Alas, no large straight wall in trans light blue in my lot.
There were some transparent roller-door bits though :^)
