They are just pieces of red, green and blue plastic - darkroom suppiy (photo) store should have them - they are dense enough that you can read print through one but not if you put two together - about the density of dark sunglasses- ski goggles- - or try a craft shop -

If you get them from a craft shop, just make sure they're true reds, greens and blues and not some arbitrary shade of those colors.

I'm pretty sure you can get replacements from Ovation Software directly.

Here's something of interest from their online FAQ:

The Red, Green and Blue Filters Allow Some Other Colors to be Visible
The red, green, and blue color filters supplied with AVIA DVD were chosen to be as color selective as practical. Unfortunately, no filters are perfect color separators. They all leak a small amount of the other primary colors. The filters supplied with AVIA meet or exceed the selectivity of filters supplied with other video calibration products and serve well for most users. However, if you need even better color separation, consider doing one of the following:

1. Place a cap on your three gun projector's other two color guns to achieve perfect separation. This is the most accurate method of isolating each color.
2. Use the display's color gun "cut-off" switches to perfectly separate the primary colors. This requires information from a service manual. Attempt this only if you are skilled in television service work.
3. Obtain glass optical filters from a photographic supply shop. The following photographic Kodak/Lee filters may provide better separation of colors but even these are not perfect.

Deep Green Tricolor #61
