Pointy style Ergopower lever compatabilty

Hello,

Years ago I recall seeing something on Campy's website about the cutoff between the pointy style Ergo power levers and shifters and the later style. I seem to recall that earlier Campy rear derailleurs (8 and 9 speed) had a the body angle screw at the back, like most slant parallelogram derailleurs do going back to Sun Tour, and the newer ones had it somewhere else. Am I remembering right? I have earlier pointy style levers, and was thinking about bidding on a derailleur on Ebay.

Correct. The later style changers have spring tension
adjuster on the cage pivot. Geometry is very slightly different.
In practice, set up gear wire index with the system in a
middle gear so the small error is similar at top and bottom
of range rather than all on one end.
