I recently removed the light meter and self timer from my Olympus Pen FT and replaced the partially-silvered meter mirror with a full-silvered mirror. Since I have the parts out, I thought I would post some images of the meter and mirror, as I have not seen good pictures of the partially-silvered mirror elsewhere online.

My Pen FT is a fairly late model, serial number 315xxx.

The mirror measures 1 1/4" by 3/4" overall. The silvering does not cover the entire mirror -- part is not silvered so the meter needle and scale can be seen.

In the photos, the thinnest graph paper lines are every 0.05"; the thickest lines are every 1/2". The mirror diagram is looking at the silvered side.
