Thanks to everyone who responded here, I am in the process of figuring out my Klein MTB (possibly a Pinnacle from the early 90s) I am probably going to keep it pretty stock but like the idea of a external crank in case I want to change things up. I knew and had planned to order Phil bearings for it but didn't think about them doing a external BB however it makes sense since they do one for Swiss threads.
I instructed my beloved LBS to call Phil and order the bottom bracket. Am waiting on a call to say that the parts are now in stock.

The pressed in original bottom bracket was relatively easy to knock out the spindle and then the bearings. The bearings and spindle were unharmed upon removal.

BB shell 75mm wide with 121mm spindle equal on each side (23mm).
I'm trying to find a crankset that will work. The big problem is getting the chainline set.
I would like to keep the original bb setup.

As as far as my ‘89 Klein Quantum is concerned, I have the Phil Wood bottom bracket for it. I have fallen behind on my mechanic work so I have yet to install it. Once I do, My thought is that I will try to run Dura Ace 9000 crank and component group on the bike. For wheels I have Campagnolo Bora Ultra tubulars that I bought on clearance. These are the shallow sidewall climber set with carbon rims. I have a Ritchey carbon comp fork with a Soma 1” threadless headset that I’m using. Hopefully the project will get back into process now that outdoor riding has all but stopped.

Yes, those shifters index, cables through the DT.
Yes, that's a triple on a symmetrical BB square taper.
Yes, that's a 10-sp cassette and RD.
Yes, that's a 3x10 compact triple FD
Yes, that's an Innicycle headset/stem adapter.
Yes, that's a Performance Carbon 1" threaded fork.
It was a great project. I swore multiple times.
Without the bags, 22.87 lbs, including the rack, cages, pedals and those 700x28 tires. (Conti 28's were too big).
