Anyone have a spare or unused 13" glass reflector for a Sunbeam tender backup light? This is to restore the part on MEC 470. Please contact me by PM with details.

I could use several too.

Does anyone make them for any use? Would any other kind of lighting use similar reflocters such as the entertainment industry?

From watching "How it Made" it wouldn't seem to be that hard to make if you had a steel form and a large enough oven.

A search turned up this post from a couple of years ago for a source that can make replacements:

It's been suggested more than once here that a workable substitute is a stainless steel mixing bowl from your local restaurant supply store. You should be able to find something that can be relatively easily modified to work.
