Hi tsakanikaspan. I got my Wilshire out and measured the crystal and I'm 90% sure the crystal you need is a G-S CMX 317-30. It's 3 faceted with a slight curvature on all 4 sides of the bottom and measures 20.5 X 18.0 mm. You can search for one on ebay or you can definitely get one from Otto Frei. Here's the link:
