The most cost effective source of proprietary parts for a bike of this age might be to buy a complete/semi-complete bike. A rusty or bent bike with still good components or a partial bike that at least has the components you need can often be purchased quite inexpensively.
Some parts, like the freewheel, chain, cable, derailleur, IGH, cables, brakes and others, are generic.
