Hello CTony,
Likely dates from very close to 1970.
City of Oakland bicycle licenses granted for a term of three years so an expiry date of 12/31/73 suggests it may have been licensed in 1970. Examine the frame for the Oakland "oak tree" stamping symbol - resembles a mushroom and is about 7mm across.
Original fittings include Way-Assauto headset, chainset, Sheffield pedals, Universal 61 brakes, 3TTT stem & bar set, saddle pillar and seat binder.
Wheels & gear ensemble may be upgrades.
You can get a specific date from the inner faces of the axle locknuts on the Campag hubs; do not be surprised if they are later than the 1970 date mentioned above -

the cycle's Sheffield pedals are the Corsa model nr. 655 -

the Zeus tubular tyre carrier is item Ref. 19 and is an accurate copy of the Vittoria Fulmine:

importer for the cycle was almost certainly the John W. ("Jack") Murphy Co. on Shipley Street in San Francisco, California. it was purchased from Velo Sport Cyclery when they were on Grove Street in Berkeley, California. (Grove Street was later renamed Martin Luther King Jr. Way)
