Mamiya 6: Replacing Broken Viewfinder Glass

Servicing a Mamiya 6 with a broken viewfinder glass. For some reason, I see more Mamiya 6 cameras with broken finder glass than Mamiya 7. No idea why.
After scraping out the broken glass from the top cover, I cut a new piece of glass from 1mm thickness stock to install. Of course, the rangefinder gets adjusted when the top cover is removed. This camera was lucky, no damage from the impact other than the broken finder glass.
