Thanks, Barny
 
I may check with Pineapple, but I think the one slot is peened over more than 1mm of milling will take out.

Ed,
 
Pineapple did my 3mm rotor work.  It was done fairly fast, and done well.

Well, the decision has been made.  Thanks in part to the wife's continued interest in my warm body on  cold winter nights, the decision has been made to purchase new rotors and rotor housings.  $$ but apparently I am worth it {:>)
 
I looked into milling out the slots to 3mm and that would have been the cheaper approach - but cheap approach is probably partly responsible for me being in this situation - so going to try a different approach this time.  Besides leery of using a rotor which clearly has been subjected to sufficient loads to scrape metal off its surface and peen over apex slot.
 
In the process of getting quotes.
