Hi John,

I saw/read Japanese collector study, and I do have one set too. Campy DID make some very end productuin steel/bronz Record with plastic wheel as alloy NR, ca, 1968-69.

Look/count number of teeh on the plastic pulley wheel, they ought to be "9" instead of 10. Also, look for the mysterious <c> marking, it ought to be on the tab of position adjusting stopper (very small). As you know, they stamped the headset about same time with the <c> marking, not before 1967 and not after 1970.

Best regards,
