I recently found a Miniflex in generally good working order and fair to good cosmetic condition.

I'll need to service the shutter, relube the focusing mechanism, and strip, clean, and recement the leatherette, but it should clean up nicely. My problem is that the nameplate is missing, and it's highly unlikely I'll be able to replace it without fabricating a new one.

So, I'm wondering if there's a Miniflex owner out there who'd be willing to make me a plaster mold of the lettering side.
