At least 4 or 5 of us have agreed its repairable. But at what cost? Bare in mind that these frames are brased, not welded, very few people around that can do this well.
Brian says that to restore the frame's strength and integrity, the whole seat tube would need replacing and to achieve that, the rear stays would need to be removed first and then replaced. A lot of labour and a lot of steel. Not gonna be cheap.
