I picked up a nice condition Vitessa L with the Ultron. The camera is in good shape, meter works and it came with a bunch of Vitessa accessories. Shutter needs a CLA and the rangefinder isn't currently working from the mirror coming unglued. The mirror was a little beat up from bouncing around inside. Does anyone know of a source for a replacement mirror? I'm looking for the tiny rangefinder mirror, not the semi-silvered mirror.

Thanks,

Shawn
 
You could try The Surplus Shed. There may be other sources such as Edmund but I doubt you'd find a small front surface mirror at a better price elsewhere. You may have to cut a larger piece down to size as a precise dimensional match off the shelf is unlikely. Go easy on the wind plunger when removing and fastening the knob. Tensioning it against the internal mechanism is a *very bad idea*. Use a rubber piece around the shaft to fasten or remove the knob.

Could you just cut out a piece of a mirror of a broken SLR? Plenty of those for cheap on ebay or flea markets, if you don't have one kicking around anyway.
