Eric,

Don't worry to much about the front mirror, as long as you can see a reflection it will work. The spherical mirror in the barrel is the real key to a good picture, and of course with the Philco, the reflective screen.

If the flat mirror is really gone just use the thinnest regular mirror you can find and use a thin back board to make it the same thickness as the original.
