First generation small parts (apart from the G-springs and left G-spring carrier which are common to second generation levers) have also been discontinued.
Hmmm, my two sets are Record and Chorus 10-speed 2006 vintage, pre both QS and Escapement. Are the normal replacement/rebuild parts still available for these or do I have to hope for NOS finds?

Sounds like Campy is following the Shimano business model.
