I need a new pentaprism for my spotmatic ESII, I assume any spotmatic prism will be interchangeable. So does anyone have one spare? I'm happy to buy a full camera (but must be cheap, but cosmetically rough as you like) as long as it all looks good through the viewfinder, this one had a rough horizontal dark line about 1/5th or the way up the viewfinder from the mirrored backing of the pentaprism beginning to lift away.

Thanks

You have a PM.
No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.
