I googled my way to this forum since my Mark VII (vintage 1960s)just melted the plastic speed cam. I came across the posts mostly dated around 2015 from many enterprising folks who were having this part made in plastic and aluminum and I didn't see anything about who might have one available. Does any one have one, or know where I can get one? Thank you, wood working friends.

Welcome to the Forum.

They come up for sale on eBay from time to time. I have seen old ones, new ones made on 3D Printers and new cast metal ones. You may need to be patient. Because of the history of this part melting you may want to get a cast metal one if it comes available.

i'm not sure if i am posting this correctly but here is a link to a recent thread about mark vii plastic cam replacements.

I have an original one. Pm me if interested.
