CMAN, you are spot on. After some research I found the frame is a Sears frame made by Puch/Austro-Daimler in Austria. So for the time being I used a shim in conjunction with a retaining compund as suggested. I would have gone the Chris King route If the frame was more valuable than a CK headset. Here is a pic for anyone interested.
By the way the headset cups are not budging until I am 100% ready to take them off, gave them a good
tap tap tappy (Used the DIY Home Depot press). Thanks for the help guys, the input really helped. These guys provide many interesting applications.

There is probably a way to shim it but I don't know the proper way. The other option is go to a local bike coop and dig through the frames and parts to see if you find something similar.
