need campy cassette

I need a campy 6 speed cassette with some climbing gears on it, something like 25 & 28 teeth for climbing. Anyone have or know where I might find such?
It goes on my 1980 Trek road racer, in excellent condition, but it has racing gears, and I no longer race, and am too old to push those gears up hills.
Thanks

+1 and it doesn't have to be Campy. Any freewheel will do. Also available new at Nashbar, Harris, and others, and you might want to consider a 7 speed while you're at it. Relatively easy swap, your RD will handle it, you're running friction so you're OK, but you might have to shift a couple axle spacers from non-drive to drive side and redish slightly.

I think I have some spare Suntour 6sp freewheels that go up to 28t. PM me if interested.
