Trouble adjusting threaded headset
Hello!
As you may know, I recently purchased a magnificent BSA Goldenwings road bike. I love it very much.
The headset, however, is causing a lot of trouble.
When I bought the bike, it was too tight - the bars would stay where you put them. It gradually loosened up today, but at home with closer inspection it seems the headset has just loosened and there is tons of play in it.
It's a really weird headset with three notches in the lock-ring:

I've tried adjusting it with a locking wrench, which seems to work ok, but I simply CANNOT get it right. It's either too tight, or has loads of play in it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have no idea what's going on here.
