I've talked to a guy in the states who used to repair them for 20 years or so and he was quite confident I could do it myself. Basically I don't even need to disassemble the frame, just remove the damaged tube, prep the lugs and the new top tube tube, spread the headtube open just enough to fit the new top tube in and clamp it.
That would be much of a help!
