Brass primer pick-up tubes & flipper

What happened to the brass primer flipper and the brass primer pick-up tubes that Dillon had for sale a few years ago? I use my flipper all of the time and now I want to buy some more of the pick-up tubes. I know the flipper was Dillon made and I believe the tubes were also. They are GREAT products.

Due to EPA regulations, we cannot plate them any longer. They are now black enamel finished. We never used solid brass pickup tubes, though we did use plastic tubes with brass tips at one time. they were replaced by the current design, an aluminum tube with a plastic tip nearly 25 years ago.
