If Ebay does not work ouot, I would reccomenr
Dave WIlson  "FC60" on this site for dies    and
Rich Daniels  "Barreltester" on this site for shellplates.

Each make these quality items.

Your pictures show some nice work.

In line with what Bruce mentioned. Everything has its weakest link. I would like to think the easiest to replace should be the easiest to break first.

Rich Daniels  aka  "BarrelTester" on this forum can make the dies and shellplates and provide some of the parts necessary to convert.
The fortunate aspect is .45acp is the most common second only to .38. so finding the necessary items should not be that difficult.

Very good video. Reminded me of when I helped my father reload when I was young. He put in the brass, I put on the head,and he cranked the handle. I wonder what other videos of yesteryear are lost out there somewhere.

Let us know how you make out at Ron Pedersons Guns.
As Ken Walters said, you will have to speak to the owner himself.
Last time I was there, he was not. I asked the head sales guy (at least the guy who said he was in charge) and he could not give me any info.

.38 is the most common found, closely followed up by .45. The 9mm will be a little harder to find and acquire, especially in original components. One advantage of this forum is contact with those who can help find, provide or make the necesssary items you may need.
In addition to Bruce above (RBWILLNJ) you also have Dave (FC60) and Rich Daniels (BARRELTESTER).  Between these fine people, they can machine dies, shellplates, powder measures, etc., all of which will help speed up your ability to get up to speed in loading the calibers you want.

You also have Ebay as a source, but be cautious in what you look to acquire there. Example: The seller may have a head, but not all the pieces attached to make it function. Some of those pieces can be difficult to find.

Good luck/

Depending on the type of dies, as long as they are carbide, they should still work fine for you. My dies are oringial 1960s vintage and still perform. If you feel new dies may be a better option try  FC60  on this site. He makes very well made copies as good or better than the originals. You may need to go this route because the thread for the dies is not the common 7/14 found on todays versions.

If not successful on the fixed charge bar, you might try Richard Daniels. He is  "Barreltester"  on this site and makes good quality adjustable bars. I have one and would reccomend him.

The other is a So-mar, mlore of a manual indexor rather then the automatics often seem. Priced at $ 35.00 did not seem to bad.
