The early 70’s NR front derailleur is the model that does not have a circlip on the top fulcrum, and unfortunately, with every shift the whole cage slides backward just enough to make the shifting—well... a little sloppy.
yes. My first road bike had the same problem. I was not happy
less happy when I saw an early one with the screw retention
fortunately they did add the circlip
bought a replacement body and all was fixed. Later I bought s bike that had an early Record front changer... very nice.
Sometimes even the lure of added profit even put Campagnolo on the wrong side of good design.
