Rotors for Lyman Pistol Accumeasure?

I just picked up one of these the other day for a song, any idea where to get rotors for it? Specifically the #3 and #4 rotors?
I can't seem to find any on the web, I'll call Lyman in the am, but they don't list anything on their site.

No lovin from Lyman

Just spoke with Lyman, they suggest gun shows as a source for rotors as this product is no longer made. Oh well, maybe not such a good deal after all....

I have one with a full kit of rotors. They are actually quite simple and anyone with a small metal lathe could easily turn a couple for you. They were originally made of brass but either steel or even aluminum would do quite well. Do you know of anyone who has a lathe, "real" or even a hobby type?

If you can get the rotors turned you could easily bore the powder chambers yourself. Use a 3/16" bit and drill it. If you go too far, put a plug of hard epoxy in the bottom of the cavity and try again, continue until you get it right!
