Will bite the bullet and see if an LBS will re-chase the threads and face parallel. The bearings are either grabby with no play, or smooth flowing with lots of play in the spindle.
Thus the reason the frame was $35 plus shipping.
As we have discussed before, no regular LBS even with the correct tools in good working order will be able to correct this unless they are well known for doing it regularly and recently. I would have to have a good face to face personal recommendation from a trusted source. Things like this often end in "oh we tried, it didn't work out, now its scrap, sorry". This is a job for a frame builder, period IMHO.
