I went into my local bike shop the other day and asked if they had 700x35 Panaracer Pasela's. They went back in the back room and could only find 27" tires in that brand. So, I would look around before you give up on that size. Many of the internet bike shops offer that size.
Also, I'd be checking in with the Classic and Vintage Forum. I think you might find they would advise you to keep the bike. By reputation, it's one of the best.
