Those elusive green reflectors......

[r.morrison]

Hi Grant: I don't know if you would call it "one off" but I came across them somewhat as a fluke. I was looking for these etc. under "reflectors" and all sorts of words and descriptions. As anyone who has shopped ebay, the key word is everything to finding something and low and behold I came across these under the word "prism". They are Czech chandelier crystals/decorations and as known, they make some of the finest crystal in the world. As soon as I saw them, I knew they were spot on. As said earlier, only 3 cm larger in diameter and that's close enough. I bought up their stock of eight and have a agreement with them to buy up all of them that they can lay their hands on. They have red ones of the same size, but as to an earlier broach of the subject, red ones were never used on CMP's. Nothing else even closely related to CMP's or anything military.
Hope this helps.....Robert

Now you need to find an appropriately sized frost plug, and make a pair of dies to crimp in those crystals (after spot welding the frost plug to a metal strap of course).

Quick search and I found these. https://www.terapeak.com/worth/4-2-2.../152427620759/

I would have never thought of a frost plug Rob, but the more I look at it....you're spot on! We'll do some work on that and show you the finished product when it's done. Cheers and thanks......Robert

That 'price trend' graph on the link is going to spike if every MLU-er with a CMP orders a pair....

Bruce, the way I look at it...if it doesn't exist for years ( based on info from the MLU Forum ) then finding something as close as this, well, where do you put a price on that. They cost me about $20.00 bucks each Canadian delivered and if I can make up a replica of the originals, anyone with the early CMP models benefits. You have a choice of Chandelier or CMP and as our friend Brian Asbury says...."tres uber expensive" and elusive. Again, I have an agreement with the seller on price and to buy any of these units he can find and I would sooner have them on a CMP.
Cheers.....Robert

Bruce, just as a foot note, I talked with the owner of the store in Prague and he said that they very very seldom come across the green ones of that size. So as Brian A. said..... they are very elusive! Something is better than nothing.

Cheers....Robert
