Still, I can see the appeal of tutto Campag if the bike is more of a museum piece. Especially if the sleeve shows thru a big cutout in the shell.

They were not built to last though, so many of them split like yours, maybe most.
It was only in the past few years I bought a Campy BB with an intact sleeve. It arrived in the mail tightly wrapped and taped up. I carefully cut away the wrap and tape to find I had neatly dissected the plastic sleeve.
