Hey all, I just purchased a Mark VII headstock to replace the one I have with
a broken speed control cam and I am now in need of a pair of way tubes with the plastic teeth because some of mine are missing? Anyone have a set or know where I can get replacement teeth?

Also If anyone has had any luck with making a replacement speed control cam, I am also looking into that .....thanks.......Glen

Hi. sometime ago someone on this forum said that he had one made by a local machine shop. You may want to do a search for Mark 7 info to see if you can find that thread. It may prove useful.
