	[BOB KRAMER]  Speaking of M3 rangefinder repairs, does anyone know
someone who can re-cement this rangefinder's mirror?  My M3 rangefinder is
starting to get a little dim, which my Leica repair guru has told me is due
to delamination of the mirror.  I was told the only fix was to replace the
entire assembly with a M6 RF/VF.  Is this true?  Is there someone who can
just replace and/or re-cement the mirror only?

	Thanks for your input!
