Hi Richie,
What about useing some of that stick on mirror stuff, I think B&Q do it on a roll, failing that paint it black.

Hi Richie,
I've not seen an Armorpak periscope in the flesh, but would it be possible to remove the glass with a dremel and replace it with perspex backed with the mirror finish mentioned earlier.
I don't know how practible it is,but it was just a thought.

Hi Richie,
Sorry for being late with a reply, hope I am not to late...
If I were you I would paint the bakelite areas dark brown and just polish the prism (glass) area and add some glossy varnish there.
Cheers
Kent
