New to site with a classic Italian ride

Hi, I was lucky enough to receive a Daccordi road bike from the early '80s when I lived in New York (back in the early 2000s). My student had bought it and a matching one in Italy in the early '80s and when he heard that my mountain bike had been stolen he gave me the Daccordi since he didn't ride it any more. Amazingly generous guy. It's all original, including the old Campagnolo brake pads and other lovely Campagnolo/Cinelli parts. It has hung in my living room for years, taken down once in a while for a little ride. Now my kids are old enough to bike around town so I'm bringing it down more and more. I'm changing my mindset from trying to keep the bike pristine to enjoying it for the great fun it is. I'd like to replace a few parts but am just learning about bike maintenance. Can someone recommend a good shop/website for obscure replacement parts? Many thanks!
