Greetings all!
I have an Olympus μ-II camera (I know, I know, it's not digital and old fashioned, but I have had it for may years, love it and still want to use it. Call me old fashioned if you like. But we do keep our Series trucks rolling, too, eh?) where the rear viewfinder window has gone missing. Olympus has discontinued the model and is not selling any spares any longer (at least not officially). Does anyone of you folks have an idea how I can restore the good piece to reasonable working order? Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Yep, about the same, except for mine is without an 80mm zoom. Would be a pity to salvage the little part I need from an otherwise perfectly useable and unspoiled camera. Besides, cost for shipping alone is USD 65 (sic!), according to the information on the site...

From what I've seen, unless you want the most expensive models - last Nikon SLR, etc. - 35mm cameras are cheap as chips on ebay.
