Subject: [Leica] Waist level finders

Has anyone ever encountered any kind of aftermarket shoe-mounted waist level
viewfinder for sale? 
I know about  Leitz Wetzlar's AUFSU, AYOOC and AHOOT of the 1930s-1940s but these
have become serious collector's items, very pricey even in shabby shape. Yet the idea
seems so useful for unobtrusive shots.
Does anybody make something similar at an reasonable price, for normal or wide
lenses? Russian? Japanese? Ukrainian? I don't care if it's plastic. I cannot keep
borrowing my wife's Yashica T4 Super when going stealthy!
