Q1: where can a replacement bi-color lens be purchased for a PERKO brand combined sidelights lamp that was used on a 1971 OUTRAGE [21] Ribside?
The flange at the base is 1.5-inches wide.
BACKSTORY
I have owned this 1971 OUTRAGE [probably means 21] Ribside hull for 20 years. [At some time in the past described only as] when I had the lamp base rechromed I also replaced the bi-color lens, but now I cannot find the source [I used]. [At some time in the past] I also fixed the lens using red and green nail polish; that worked reasonably well.
ASIDE
I could create a new lens using 3D-printing, but I do not want to do that.
The boat is not very often underway after dark, so [my need for a new lens] is more cosmetic than practical.
