Ken-
The Japanese collector study shows 2 different versions of plastic wheels used on Record rear- both 9 and 10 teeth:

I have owned at least 2 NOS old steel Campy Record rear ders that had plastic pulley wheels. I've also owned NOS Record rears with steel wheels.
Can others tell me whether they know, or believe that the later runs of steel Record rear ders came with plastic pulley wheels? (Earlier ones of that model "for sure" came with steel wheels).
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.
