Does anyone know of a source for a replacement Speed Control Cam for a Mark VII? I managed to melt mine this weekend.

I would be surprised if Shopsmith did not offer it. They had everything I needed for my Mark V.

Consider yourself 'surprised'.
They occasionally appear on e-bay.
There is finite number of them.
They are getting rarer.
Wish I had better news!

I have a mark VII that I am going to part out. If you need something contact me via email and let me know what you are looking for. The speed controller looks intact last I checked.

wasn't there a discussion sometime last year about someone that was going to
reproduce these?
I Know I read a lengthy discussion and cannot remember if it was here or not.
Anyone else remember this?
I would think it be worth it to make it out of aluminum instead.
It doesn't look like that complicated a part, but I've never seen one up close and personal, only in pictures and discussions with pictures.
Anyone asked Skip Campbell at MKC Tools yet?
