If the r.c.m guys can't help you, why not fill a plastic bag with
vinegar and tie it to the faucet? Keep the thread part in the
vinegar. Replace as needed. Cheaper than a new faucet or a rare
tap and die.

Thanks for the suggestion. I may give that a try if I can't find
a threading die. My thought is that acid may dissolve some of the
base metal as well as the mineral deposits, so I will have to be
careful with it.
