Campy Cable Adjuster
Hello, I've been trying to match one of these. I'd prefer to find one like the one on the left with white rubber. I found a place that sells the black nut rubber alone, but would prefer white for this bike. Thanks.

Unfortunately, probably the cheapest way to buy one would be with a beat-up Athena caliper c'90.

It has always seemed to me that someone with some free time and a metal lathe could make reasonable-looking replacements from standard hardware. It's an allen-head bolt of the correct threading with a hole down the middle and one side ground off. The adjuster is a thumb nut plus an o-ring. They wouldn't be exact copies, of course, but certainly workable.
Back of the envelope guesstimate would make $20/pair profitable for a hobbiest, $10/pair for someone with a dedicated machinist and more sophisticated tooling.

You won't find the old adjuster for sale new anywhere. You may luck into one on eBay, or might be able to buy a single caliper. Try
this, maybe
or This, closer, or
this, for sure.
You can match the black one. The new stuff is pretty much like the old stuff.
