I have a very nice pair of wheels that I am getting ready to put on ebay that would fit this time period. Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo hubs (120 mm spacing) laced to mavic Module E rims. All in truly excellent condition. $150.00 to the list.

Ok, I get your point, but I didn't mean to say anyone's terminology is wrong.  I understand the vintage Campy gruppo ambiguities, and that I don't know all the parts.  My real question is, what does the hub that Jake needs look like?  If I knew that I might be able to help him.  If a NT MIGHT reasonably be termed a GS, fine, but is that in fact what Jake is talking about?  I assume he's not talking about the three-piece hub, if it's busted on a 1980 bike.
