Luxembourg based brand, imported during the boom by S/M Multicorp of Albuquerque (what are the odds of using Luxembourg and Albuqueque in the same sentence?). All the ones I've seen were entry level, similar to what you describe, though some later models did have Shimano derailleurs. At least it has the Weinmann brales and not the Altenburger that some came though with. I don't know that the 73 is a date code, but the components would certainly put it in that time frame.
