Centurion/Shimano parts question

After wrestling with derailleur adjustment for a couple of weeks, and still having the rd jump gears, especially when going large to small, I broke down today and took the Lemans to the LBS to see what I had done wrong. Reasons from the bike mechanic, in no particular order. 1. cable incorrectly routed 2. wheel not seated completely back in drop-out (felt really dumb on this one) 3. bent hanger 4. worn index part at the lever (he did show me a lot of play before clicks) My short term solution is friction shifting, which may also be my long term solution. They looked for parts, and could only come up with a set of replacement levers. Problem? Dura Ace at $120 the set. I really don't want to add that much onto the project at this point. Are there sources of old SIS parts out there? Or, am I destined to ride clickless?
