The bike came to me 'period correct', not because of anyone's fetish, but because the OO built it up the way he wanted BITD, and saw no reason to update anything, just replace consumables. It was built up with components that were top notch in 1982-83, without regard for country of origin: Simplex retrofriction shifters, Suntour freewheels and jockey wheels, Wolber dark-anodized tubular rims, Turbo saddle, Cinelli bar (and stem), and Campy NR everything else. Aside from newish bar tape/cables/tires, the last thing that I think he added was an Avocet cyclometer that dates to around 84-85.
