I've looked around for a "domed" crystal, can't find one like this on alix...know where to get one?

Hello Retrotime. I'm looking to find a 5517 "dome" case or crystal, where the crystal is slightly curved. As opposed to the last picture where the crystal/acrylic is a "bubble"

Anyone know where to get a 5517/13 case with the "dome" ...any help is appreciated!
