    From picture bishops cams look the same as neotats to me. Bishop sells his on his website. Not sure if it will work but it's a twenty dollar try.

    I tried to contact Neotat about a similar request and they refused to sell me a cam only a complete assembled motor with a cam on it "The cam is balanced on the motor and cannot be removed therefore we only sell pre assembled motor/cam" whatever...........................

    This is true. The big problem is when you want parts for a generation of macline that will not accommodate the change.

    ok well i opened up my vivace and them saying it cannot be removed is sorta bulklshit ,its got a little set screw on the cam wheels just like any other rotary it comes off no problem, does anyone own both a vivace and a bishop capo and is willing to check for me if they are the same cam wheels , i emailed neotat with no response ray hasnt been on here in months either so no point in messaging him, if they arte gonna give me this story about not being able to remove it and say i have to order a entire motor that i dont even need id rather not.. i know they look the same on the website id just really like to have someone with both machines check it out it will only take 2 seconds and i think will help a few users get the cams they need more easily... whats with neotats site also for such a popular machine there site and online store is really lacking...

    the cams on the neo are bigger but the bearing that goes in fits in the slide area is the same.

    id really hate to have to order a entire motor that is just gunna sit around and collect dust, thats annoying and seems more liek amoney grab then anything to me, why sell individual cams when we could sell motor+cam no one would buy the motors if they just sold the cams, until a motor burned out , and that doesnt happen tooo too often on a neotat

    So took the cam off the bishop through it on a mabuchi rg series motor i had laying around witch is what is in the neotats. It off by about a millimeter as far as i can tell here a pic. To me this seems like a very simple machining fix. uploadfromtaptalk1357771335861.jpg
    Can anyone with machining knowledge back this up?

    I'm about 90% sure could pull this off with a vice and drill press
