Several years ago I was able to get the master for the 298dx cam, find a top
cam grinder and buy a stock of new TR-3/4 cam blanks.  That supply is
exhausted.  There is a potential to negotiate the purchase of more new cam
blanks, the price depending on the quantity ordered.  In order to go forward
with this transaction I would need to have orders for some of the stock.  I
just sold my last 298dx cam for $650 + shipping and this reflects the price
increase from my cam grinder. 

I am not positive I can get new cam blanks but if so I am hoping to keep
these cams priced in the current range.  However, I suspect new blank prices
will require an increase in the final sale price.  I do make a profit on
this but it is modest and basically pays for my time providing these cams.
So it is likely that cam will be at least $750 + shipping.  I am opening a
list and taking a count of racers wanting a new 298dx cam.  I have two folks
on that list so contact me directly if you would  like to be added.  I will
leave the list open for a couple of weeks and then see how many cams are
needed and the price I can secure.  As to delivery, that is hard to say,
everyone knows of the shipping delays all over the world.  Cams can last a
long time with proper care, but they do not last forever, so think to the
future.
