I did this once, and successfully used Edmund #A30525 condensers. It's
close but not an *exact* replacement, so you'll have to change all the
condensers.

I believe changed mirrors (although I might be getting confused with
something else). In any event, if what I recall was on the Stereomatic,
the problem was that the glass was fairly thin (about 1mm I think). I
finally looked in the yellow pages and toured around every glass/mirror
manufacturer that I could find with my best pleading voice and came up
with a couple of pieces of the right thickness that I cut to size.
