Getting back to the original question: Sorry, been on the road, difficult to keep up with discussions in a timely manner. Found the receipt for my 75 Limited. In the same pile of useless old documents with the receipt for my 69/70 white Raleigh Pro, and my draft card. (Only time I ever played the lottery. Do you remember where you were when YOUR birth date was picked?). Anyway, paid $225 plus tax, with a Tange headset. Still one of the nicer colors I've ever seen on any 'Traut. Metallic blue, similar to a Raleigh Pro. Turin Cycles in Chicago was distributor for the Midwest, and Champaign Cycles (Champaign IL) was the dealer where I purchased it. Can't remember what an "A" cost back then, but whatever it was, I couldn't afford/justify it. 26 years later, still can't.
