I actually liked the Nuovo Record better than the Super.

A few errors in this description. The first version of the Super Record was effectively a 'tuned' version of the Nuovo Record. The only practical difference was teh use of the two titanium pivot bolts. They also had black anodized body parts which was solely aesthetic. The front plate was quite similar to the Nuovo Record with the model name the writing in 'haut relief'. After 5 years, the first generation was supplanted by a second version that had not only a newer front plate where the Campagnolo name was painted on, but also completely redesigned cage plates. In fact, the 1978 onward version shifts quite differently from the Nuovo and first generation super record derailleurs.
