Thanks everyone for the advice and the entertainment. I don't normally vent in forums like these, but had spent my lunch hours for three straight days trying to get the headset loose so I can service it, remove the freewheel, and learn how to get to the bearing cones. The result was, success on the headset, a lesson on the dust caps (a very cool tool, by the way) and nothing on the freewheel. This consisted in visits to multiple bike shops, with the best luck at the last one.

As for why I bought a bike such as this without understanding the need for campy specific tools, I'll plead guilty. While pretty new at this, and way less experienced than most who frequent here, I have rebuilt several bikes over the last couple of years, and am used to a project requiring an addition to the tool chest. In the case of the Scafin, this is the first Campy equipped bike I have bought. I got it for a very good price, with the idea that I could rebuild and sell, or possibly keep it as it is a good fit for me. There are some parts on it that I am sure are highly sought after, so I could sell some of the bike's parts and recoup the cost of the bike and replace the pieces I sold off.

Some things will need to be changed. I was not the one who radial spoked the sheriff star hubs, which I understand is a disaster waiting to happen. I will also need shifters, as someone in the past removed the downtube shifters are replaced with some really junky grip shifters.
