The lens came out quite easily, but as I recall now, there were some particles of a seal stuck to one side of the front. I left them there. This might give me a guide to re-inserting it where it was previously.
It's a cheap Synta, moderately old, bought second-hand (Sorry Ian - I didn't mean to stuff it!).
OK, I'll play some more, then see my helpful friends at Bintel. (Unless they see me coming first and hide!)

Ouch... that's bad, but nothing you can't fix. Check if there are any marks anywhere on the periphery, usually thick marker marks. If not do a star test and keep rotating until you hit the sweet spot. Tedious but feasible. If you have an artificial star it's even better. No big deal. You'll get there.
Just remember for next time.
PS: there might still be some marks on the lens glass where the spacers were to hold the lens separate. With a bit of luck you didn't clean that part and that might be easy to match.
