Earlier this year I responded to a Craigslist ad and purchased a Dave Moulton Fuso frame from the seller, who was a C&V collector. I ended up buying 2 frames from him. LOL. I could have stayed all day gawking at his boxes and boxes of pantograph parts he acquired worldwide for his future builds. He also had a nice collection of vintage bikes that were above average in restoration- he added pantographed parts on his bikes. He was so proud of his collection he pulled out box after box to show me his treasures.
I asked him if I could take a few pictures of his parts and he was very cordial. I wish I could have photographed his extensive collection of parts!
I have his number and will contact him again to see if he has any parts for sale. He sells on various sites and he is constantly buying vintage bikes and parts.

It's like asking why Levis have a little red tag.
FWIW I bought some NOS Guerciotti Record levers and calipers out of a bike shop in the late 80's. Unusual but there they were.

I liked and still like the old Shimano 600 EX Arabesque groupset with its pantograph components.
