Bill, Though I have yet to need it, I have heard ammonia poored in from the BB end does wonders in a short time. This tip came from several on Roadbikereview.com who had posts that wouldn't respond to anything other than the laborious cutting/slotting already mentioned. Worth a shot - but rinse well after. Let us know, Dave Meyer Olathe, Ks
I posted last week that I had purchased a 1980 bike custom build by David Hartranft who worked in Cambridge, MA with Chris Chance. I'm in the process of sorting and cleaning things and it looks pretty good. I do have a problem though in that the seat post appears to have never been moved in the bike's almost 30 years. It might as well be welded in! Any thoughts about how to get it out? It's a Campy Record post and the seat tube is Reynolds 531.
