Anyone know where handles for old style AUTO PRIME are available.  Need a little more mileage out of mine.

I broke my Lee Auto Prime handle not long ago.  I couldn't get a new one.  When I went to their site I found this note.

The original Auto Prime with the round primer trays was Discontinued in October 2010,  and most of the parts are no longer available. The only option that we have available at this time would be to send us the original Auto Prime,  and we can offer you the new Auto Prime XR at half price. This is the priming tool that replaced the original Auto Prime. The cost of this would be $12.49+$5.00 shipping. Please send the Auto Prime to us with a note stating why you are sending it to us and what you would like us to do for you along with your complete billing and shipping address, payment and a daytime phone number.

I sent it in and got the newer model for about the same price as a new one at a retail source.  It was inexpensive enough that I didn't mind.

They will be missed. I got a new one too. Great for Federal primers. Have two of the old ones and stashed some handles. Should be set on hand primers for life.
