Hello Josh,
Try using a Phil bb. I used one to accommodate a Campag NR triple on the 1956 Cinelli- and it worked great. You are able to move the chainline. It even passed cognoscenti test.

I'm putting together my early 60's Masi Special with a Nuovo Record
triple crank (36-42-47), Nuovo Record bottom bracket marked "70-SS X3", and a
Record front derailleur- the earlier kind that has a stop requiring a length
of stainless housing. My problem is that the front derailleur doesn't carry
the chain out far enough to reach the large chainring. I've tightened the
crank bolt as far as it can go, The bottom bracket shell is 70mm,
I have a similar setup on a Cinelli, though it uses a later model NR front.
Any suggestions besides riding more so I don't require triple cranks?
Thanks and Happy New Year,
