Old record from event you kept within view (7-5)

I believe the answer is:

seventy-eight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old record' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'event you kept within view' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'ye' (historical version of 'you').
'kept' is an insertion indicator.
'within view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'within' bit.).
'event'+'ye'='eventye'
'eventye' put into 'sight' is 'SEVENTY-EIGHT'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seventy-eight that I've seen is " Old gramophone record".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
