It's a shame that this thread has not been updated in 8 years! What is a C&V forum without more pictures of turkey levers? Plus you need rat trap pedals to complete the look with turkey levers. My first ten speed--a low end Nishiki--came with turkey levers and rat trap pedals and I rode that bike everywhere and survived. . . .

My latest bike--a mid to early 70s Sekine SHS 271--has them. The bike is pretty much all stock other than the consumables and the saddle. The parts cleaned up great and the bearing surfaces are all in perfect shape. I did have to hunt down a few parts to finish the build though. This bike is sweet with a tange champion frameset, shimano forged drop outs, and a shimano mid range parts (shimano 333 hubs, shimano tourney brakes and levers, titlist rear derailleur) :
