Campy Calipers with script

Non-aero Campy calipers with Campagnolo panto'ed in script on the face of the arms. Do I need to post pics or is the script enough to provide an ID?

Then...the hole for the barrel adjusters isn't threaded and the only adjusters I have in my parts bin that are near Campy with the nice rubber ring around the top, are threaded. Am I missing a sleeve - threaded on the inside, smooth on the outside that is inserted into the hole in the caliper arm, or am I completely off the mark and need to hunt down an elusive and expensive replacement?

Experts por favor?

Sounds like Super Record or Victory or one of its variants. Does the hole have a flat side? If so, the adjuster should also have a flat side and be threaded. It is actually two pieces...the threaded "screw" that goes in the hole and the actual adjuster with the rubber that screws onto it. Note that the adjuster in the Victory picture at the link is upside down. Done so it does not fall out while the calipers are not in use.

Bikes: Crap. The box is not big enough...

the diff between the two is the brake quick release. The record brake has a rotating quick release allowing infinite positions between on and off, and the victory (or grand sport) has a flipper that is either on or off, like the early dura ace brakes. The brake arms differ from the earlier campy brakes by having a triangular cross section (and they look a lot cooler IMHO). Cv-6 makes a good point in that the adjuster and the "screw" often become fused together, and take a lot of careful work to get the adjuster going again.

which ones do you have?
