John,
I don't know if this'll help you, but if you need to replace the small front-silvered mirror on a camera or other optical device, I know a great trick. This assumes a certain skill level on your part...
Any old polaroid camera of the type that has the film pack on the bottom has a beautiful front-silvered mirror inside. These can be found at yard sales, and I've never paid more than $5 for one... take it apart, and you get a mirror that can be cut to shape. I've re-equipped a couple of Rollei TLRs like this - better than paying $100 for the original part.
Other than that, try doing a search with Google using "fron silvered mirror" to find manufacturers.
Hope this helps.
Mike
