Re: IML: Mirror-matic

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

One point to ponder before taking out that mortgage is how well will an NOS 
Mirror-matic stand up? I purchased one probably 20 years ago from Radios & 
Wheelcovers. I believe the going rate was $250.00 at the time & they had a 
LOT of them.
      While it did function correctly, the mirror fell off after a short 
time. I was able to take it apart & reattach the mirror to the flipper & it 
continued to work but , the silvering started flaking off the mirror from 
all of the movement these do, leaving many black spots. Restoring the one 
you have may be a better option.

Subject: IML: Mirror-matic


Hello All

I have been watching eBay and a few other spots in the hope of locating an 
NOS (or "close to" NOS) mirror-matic mirror for my '59 LeBaron.
I was even thinking of mortgaging the house to buy it! Nevertheless I have 
seen nothing although I corresponded with Pierre Courant who outlined the 
steps he went through to overhaul his. I may have to do this even though 
mine has some "structural" damage. Another interesting point is that 
Hemmings offers (to their customers, limited to two requests per year) to 
find a vendor of "hard to find" parts. I pursued this and was given 
Mitchell's! Mitchell's didn't even respond to my fax.
So does anyone have a mirror for sale or a line on one?
Alternatively does anyone have the address of a reliable company/person who 
refinishes mirrors? Mine is in poor shape!
Thanks for any help offered.

Mel
