I called MEC, and they were not at all optimistic.
They have no parts. The parts are not interchangeable. The model stopped being made in the 60's. That was when Bob was at the peak of his outdoor writing career. Bob had probably not touched the loader since I got to knew him in the early 80's.
It's okay. I'm not bitter. I'd not had any big plans to load shotgun shells. In fact, y'all did a good job of talking me out of it a few years ago on this very forum.
I also know that if I do get the itch, I can buy a used MEC setup for $100 or less on ebay.
