Want to Buy WTB: Kodak Folding Camera (Parts)

[bvy]

It's an odd request. The old Kodak folding cameras (Vigilant Six-16 is one example) had a small prism/mirror type viewfinder on the lens assembly (like this). I want one of these (just the viewfinder). Ideally the glass will be clean -- no rust or spots.

These cameras don't go for much on eBay (ten dollars or so), as it seems they're pretty ubiquitous still. So I'm hoping someone has an old or broken one for parts.

Thanks.

(If anyone knows of a similar type device -- that is, a small self-contained prism/mirror type viewfinder -- I'd be interested in hearing about it. (there was a url link here which no longer exists).)
