It is quite possible that the mirror on your Bessaflex TM is the same as on other "made by Cosina" SLRs of the same vintage. Probably the most prominent examples would be the Nikon FE10/FM10 and Vivitar V3800N. While sharing a fair amount of "DNA" with those other three cameras, your Bessaflex TM has the distinction of having full-metal build, a certain degree of exclusiveness*, and compatibility with Bessa rangefinder trigger winder and grips. Cool camera
Good luck on getting a repair done. With a replacement in hand, most competent technicians should be able to manage the swap.
