The Cyclone Mk II is totally different, with a flat-wire spiral spring instead of a square-wire helix.
Haha don't tempt me to do something silly and make a shaft
There are plenty of options on ebay though and the Superbe needed a clean and grease anyway.

The only reason I probably won't use it on my Paino build is that I'm trying to keep it a high end race bike and that Superbe name. But have put it on the bike and doesn't look out of place at all like yours, works great too and probably still better that anything Campy from the period "cough cough". The vg-t came off a Daws Galaxy so will likely go back there one day, it looked sad coming off but a full service and works good as new.
