If memory serves me correctly Pacific was bought out by Hornaday.
I've got an old Pacific single stage I still use from time to time.

I don't know how much luck you'll have finding parts for it.
You still see these come up for sale occassionally on some of the boards.
If you keep an eye out and don't mind waiting you can probably find everything you need to get it up and working again.
But then again a new MEC isn't all that expensive either.

OF, You are correct about Hornady buying out Pacific. I too own a Pacific single stage press.

For the OP: You might also want to check ebay for parts.

I'd sell it to someone else who wants it for parts and buy a new MEC if I was wanting to get into shotshell reloading

That's an option for sure. Especially if you're attached to it.

That sounds like good advice. Put her on ebay. Then no headaches trying to find parts.
Those guys will buy anything and if you get 2 or 3 bidding on it you'll probably end up with enough for the MEC.
