The OP referenced a Super Record headset. I assume it's of roughly the same vintage as the bike, or from 1985. If so, that's a fairly tall headset with a stack height of about 44mm (from memory and may be off a bit). That leaves the OP plenty of choices in headsets, since just about all modern headsets are less than 40mm stack.
