Default Microcord focus mirror

Does anyone know the dimensions of the focusing mirror in an MPP Microcord?

Sorry Dave I have a Microcord, 1 1/2 but I would have to take it apart to get to the mirror, and the mirror is veru delicate, so I am told, and touching it coud damage it good luck in your search, Have you tried the MPP owners club to see if they can help ?

I'll see if there's any details on the MPP User website (old version which I've archived). I know you've tried to look on the new one

It's awkward to measure mine at the moment, I did replace the focus screen with a Chinese version which is very much brighter.

Try calling Vacuum Coatings they may know, they make replacement mirrors and have made one for a Ruby Reflex for me. They can cut and coat one if they have the size.

It's most likely the same as a Rolleicord, There's nothing on the old MPP User site, I've just checked.

Thanks all, had forgotten about Vacuum Coatings so will give them a try. Richard, yep that is why I haven't taken mine to bits, don't want to make it worse than it is!

It's why I said it's a bit awkward at the moment as well
