Lachmiller reloading shell holders

I have a Lachmiller Engineering 100 press and would like to use it but I need shell holders. Just started this search and posted in the wanted forum but have some questions.
Are the shell holders the same for the Lachmiller press and priming tool? I'm lead to believe they may be different.
Is/was there a "universal" holder made to use RCBS style holders? There is one on ebay but I'm not sure if it's for press or primer tool or both and I'd rather not buy there anyway.
How about shell holder numbers? I'm after .243 and 7mm Mag sizes.

Given the 40+ years. Likely fleabay would be your best bet.
Answering your questions regarding the Lachmiller reloading tools. Would be best addressed, to the "National Reloading Tools Collectors Association". They use to have a active web-site, with various forums dedicated to different manufacturers. Although I haven't been on it for years.
Thanks a bunch for the info. Special thanks to charliemeyer007. The link to the RCBS/Herters adapter had a review that said it works great in the Lachmiller press. Perfect! Thanks again.
I don't know anything about this adapter? Years ago though. I bought some extended shell holders, for use in a older RCBS Rockchucker.[xx(] If this adapter changes the height of the shellholder to any great extent? You might experience similar problems? As I recall, the extended shell holders changed the leverage point. I wound up tossing them.

Or you can find just the rcbs piece for $25 right below that listing.
or $8 for the 7mm mag one. By the same seller.
