source for rangefinder mirrors?

[darinwc]

Hey! I am repairing a Konica Pearl folding rangefinder. The silvering on the partial mirror is completely rubbed off.
Where can I get a new mirror? What are they actually called if I am doing a search for them?
Thanks!

Try Edmund Optics. They carry a range of beamsplitters with different sizes and transmission ratios.

Another vote for Edmund. I recently had the Kalart RF on one of my Crown Graphics repaired using a replacement beamsplitter from Edmund.

Edmunds has dropped many of the beamsplitters that they use to carry. You need the 50% beamsplitter and will have to cut it to size using a glass cutter. The new beamsplitter will be thinner than the one in your camera so add paper shim stock to the mirror frame to bring the front surface out to where the old one was then recalibrate your rangefinder.

There are companies specialized in flat plane optics.

Cannibalizing another camera could be a alternative.

Edmund sell their surplus products somewhat more cheaply through their Anchor Optics web site.
