And going slightly off-topic, what can I do to give the brakes better feel? I've cleaned and lubed the calipers and added Kool Stop salmons, but they're not terribly confidence-inspiring. Perhaps new cables would help? The levers are pre-91 Athenas, I believe.

Too bad it is not a Sachs (which I can easily re-gear to achieve a wider range).

I do have a limited supply of Regina sprockets. If you sent it my way I could give it a try to re-gear into a wider range. The trick is to use your existing spacers in order to maintain the correct indexing. I believe I could keep this all under the price of these gems:

$250
NOS Regina Extra Synchro 90 7 SP Freewheel 13-31 cogs Campagnolo Compatible ISO


$123 REGINA CX/CX-S Freewheel 7 speed 13.14.15.16.17.21.25. English Thread Italy 83

And probably even less then this one even with including a cleaning and servicing of the body.

$88 NOS Regina Extra SYNCHRO 90 S 14-28 7s freewheel Campagnolo index 7-speed
