thanks for the link... the translator doesn't really make much sense... but wow! My "early" one appears to be an imbetween model of his 2 early record.... the 1 with the screws I question the originality off... I have to wonder if it was modified and why they did away with it and went to NO method of securing the upper pivot.

Holy crap, I just noticed that the lower pivot isn't secured by the spring in the normal fashion as the later one is... It has NO fasteners... the arm has a longer housing and the spring just sits on the arm. I know this makes no sense. I'm going to have to get a camera... I have to wonder now.... mine does have a screwed and not pinned cage as his does... though it seems odd that campagnolo would have screws securing the pivots and then switch to nothing securing the pivots...
