Overall it is in very good shape for how old it is. The dropout screws were broken and bent, so Sean at Peninsula Bike Works has ordered new ones for me. As I type, the frameset is in the hands of Hector at Winning Wheels in Pacific Grove. He is re-spacing the dropouts from 126 to 130 and cleaning and chasing the threads of the bottom bracket and derailleur hanger. My plan is to rebuild it with new Campagnolo Athena 11 silver components and modern but retro-styled wheels. Pacenti recently released their SL23 rim in silver, so that's at the top of my list right now. Other touches will include a silver Chris King headset, white perforated Selle San Marco Regal saddle, Arundel stainless bottle cages and white Gecko tape, and probably white cable housing.
