The above would work really well but neither would have the sexiness that you currently have.

In your position I’d get gevenalle. It actually might shift better than the original. I’ve been thoroughly impressed with Microshift shifters on a few bikes I’ve had.

Fortunately for me my sexy steel bike of the same age as yours has Campy Chorus. I got the levers rebuilt last summer.
I have some Kelly Take-Offs and 10 speed DA downtube shifters that I've been saving for years for a bomb-proof touring build that I keep planning on doing (but have never gotten around to building up the wheels for - because building wheels is my least favorite job so I keep finding another project to do instead or just ride the bikes I have).
