Subject: [CR]Restoring rusty old frames

Question for the group- what would be the most effective way to restore a bike frame that has been exposed to the elements and is rusting? Ninety-nine percent of the frame is solid, but one area in particular, at a tube junction- around and on a lug, is rusted to the point of pitting/lost metal at the point of the lug. There is also significant bubbling.

Is this something that can be repaired? Re-brazed?

Please advise.
