Thanks everyone for the nice comments - this has been a great project and may have started a habit.
You're telling me! I've got 5 bicycles in the garage now. So as long as I keep riding each day, I'll always have some sort of project to work on. Here's my "new" '84 Super Course, a stock, low mileage unit I found in Simi Valley. It had all the original parts on it, right down to the 2-piece brake cables. I've since replaced those cables, the brake hoods, seat, front and rear derailleurs . . . and I guess that's it. All original parts are stored in a box.
The plastic spacer on the downtube RD shifter is cracked, one reason for posting here; I need to source a replacement.
A link to how I found the bike - and its true condition - is found here. I posted it before I learned of this thread:

Thanks all - have enjoyed looking at your Super Courses! DB
