Many can easily be converted from 120 to 126 with an axle change and spacers. I have a couple of extra HF Record that are candidates with one being converted successfully.

+N (for all N > 0) about 120mm. A 126 is just a 120 with a longer axle, 6mm of spacers on the right side, and the wheel dished 3mm further to the right.

Here's a tip. People pay bottom dollar for used tubular wheelsets. Often a hubset will have a longer life than the rims. You can often find good deals on CL for tubular wheels. I've picked up several tubular wheels off CL for less than what the hub alone might have sold for on ebay. Then either go tubular ( 
) or take apart the wheels (polish the hubs while you are at it) and rebuild the hubs with new clincher rims. Obviously, you won't have as many options to choose from, but if you are not picky and don't mind used items, it's a strategy worth considering.

Many treat wheels as single componants. The best find is one that has good hubs, like my HF Records, that were spoked to bent tubular rims! Clean them up, lube them and they are smooth as butter and have great bling!
. Mostly ebay. Campy hubs spin great!

I have done the same thing twice -- buy old tubular wheels and swap the rims.

I've seen sellers on ebay offering complete wheels, while also offering to remove the spokes and rims to save on shipping if the buyer only wants the hubs. A few of the tubular wheels I've bought on ebay had some pretty shabby rims and spokes. If I'd known just how shabby, I would have been happy to pay the same price for just the Campy hubs.
