Other front derailleurs that will work include Zeus Criterium, 1st edition Dura-Ace, SunTour Compe, SL, or 1st edition Cyclone, and Simplex Super LJ, among others.
Thanks for the advice, John. I currently have five different bikes in the fleet with Stronglight or TA cranks; four of them have FDs from among the group you mentioned. For this fifth one, I thought I might sneak in something with more bling, but I've been denied. But I do have more options in the bin, none Campy pre-CPSC.

That's what I do when encountering physics.
Good thinking, sir!

That's why I'm trying to barter. Eff those banks!!
