could you remember anything about serial number identification under the bottom bracket ? Mine has 2 letters and 6 numbers ( CS480923 ) and Andrew Muzi of Yellow Jersey bike shop fame guestimates it to be 1984.
thank you

The Limited was preceded by the Japanese-built Super in a similar price range. The Limited has a bit gentler geometry.
Be sure to inspect any used Campy crank purchase for cracks at the arm/spider junction, usually most visible from the top of the arm when the arm points forward.
A suspected crack can be confirmed by it's appearance on the reverse side of the spider.
