Yeah, it is essentially a re painted norco. Most of the original components are intact. I do believe I will be looking at suntour derailleurs, not too sure though as I only looked at it fleetingly. I remember that later versions of the bike had Some sort of shimano sis index, but this one does not. They have replaced all cables and brake pads

The bike mechanic is not sure of the manufacture date, but looking at it being white I would put it at mid 80s. I don't think they made them much earlier and the later models had some sort of blended powder type coat.

I hope they price this one right to make it worth while.
