BEAMSPLITTER	Can't Post

Gentlemen,

I need to find a 15”X17” glass beamsplitter mirror for a teleprompter. Where can I find it?

Thank you. Cool

What you want is called "half silvered glass", and you should be able to find it several places. Try scientific equipment suppliers, or any large glass distributor in your area.

Hey, If you get your teleprompter unit working, post an article! I run the television studio at school and would love to see a decent low budget teleprompter setup!

Cheers,
