I did kill succesfully an Certos external range finder mirror, finder didn't work I did open it and adjust it , due it was open I did clean mirrors with pure alcohol with a cotton tab. Result is all silver gone from mirrors , RF is not usable any more without re-silvering Embarassed Twisted Evil

Thanks for sharing, Attila, and what a pity. I heard about this but never know anyone that actually experienced it.
Don't know how much room you have inside the rangefinder, but maybe a small piece of thin mirror could be used...

Regards.

I thought silver on rare side like on 'normal' mirror Sad not easy to cut such a small mirror and need to mark some how yellow circle I think.

May not be a cheap option, but a stained glass person or shop ought to be able to cut a scrap piece of mirror to size. Also, small pieces of glass and mirror scrap might be had cheap or free from a glass shop or car autobody shop (part of a broken rear view mirror maybe?)

Not an important project I have several good ones, I have a scanner also with broken mirror perhaps sometimes I will repair both.
