Anyone heard from Camgrinder John Dougherty?
Has anyone heard from John lately? I've been trying to get a hold of him this week without any luck. Does phone or email work best for him?
Thanks!

I'm still out a set of cams sent to him in July. Not answering phone calls or emails. I don't know what to think about this, done buisiness many times before no problems.

DC 40 paid in full including shipping back early December, we finally received a tracking number late January but he never sent the cams despite many emails and a phone call. Not very serious... |

I have spoken with him twice in the past 2 months. He answered his phone first time I called both times. I was ready to send him my cams next week, guess, maybe I will hold off ,until I see what is going on.

Less than a year ago, he was very responsive to PM's.

He did 3 sets of cams for me w/o issues, albeit a few years ago. My last cams were SC grind Turbo cams. Love them. There must be a Pelicanite near him to snoop around to see wazzup.

So, the larger question right now is, if the good Doc has stumbled upon some tough times, who do I send my cams to? Is elgin still in the game? I guess web would be my best bet. Shame, I was looking forward to using John, seemed like a good guy, did he not used to be fairly active here on the forums?
I am not going to judge the guy either, running a small biz can be tough. I know there are times that I would like to take a time out.

I'll say this, you probably can't beat his pricing.
Not sure the V8 cam companies could match his pricing. But, turn around times are a price in themselves..... |

Lots going on for me lately. I am very good at making camshafts, not so good at running the front office. I had my wife helping out, and now she went out and got a real job. So I am now back to being a one man show.
I will turn off the answering machine off for the next few days during business hours. This way it will ring more than twice and I will pick up. 530-672-2286 John
