We really need to see pictures...
I am really dumb--why didn't I think of that? Thanks, I will try that--it should work.
Here are photos:

It looks a wreck, here, eh?
Some rust on the fork crown.
It's got nice lugs.
Most of the decals are gone.
There's a decal proclaiming the bike to be outfitted with Campy Record Components, and it has Campagnolo decals, too. Unfortunately, the original owner appears to have taken the Campy components off a long time ago. It does have Columbus tubing.
The paint is a bit faded on one side. Apparently the original owner threw it in a shed years ago, and could not bring herself to get rid of it. Eventually she decided that it had to go.
