I don't wish to dribble on your bonfire but the late '70s isn't a great period for Triumphs. Build quality was inconsistent and quality control sketchy. I worked at a garage that sold them at the time and all came back with problems, some with serious ones, for eg gearbox main shaft shearing after 35 miles.
What a lot of people ended up doing was completely stripping down their bikes and finishing them off themselves which may be the case with yours.
