>I have a question. I'm inclined to treat this with JP Weigle's Framesaver before reassembling. But since the frame is over 30 years old, it probably already has some internal corrosion. What is the consensus about the usefulness of treating and old used frame with FrameSaver?

I'm sure Framesaver will coat any existing rust and keep it from growing. It might be useful to first pour alcohol into the frame and blow it out with compressed air to remove any moisture.
