It's pretty amazing how well a lot of the 1980s (or a lot earlier)
stuff still works if it's maintained reasnonably well rather than
abused. I have a bicycle with the old Shimano 600 EX stuff on it
including the scallop headset and I never have problems with it.
And if that choice words deleted scalloped headset shakes loose all
the time there is a solution which works to this day on my road bike:

I have NEVER needed to resort to the use of a hoseclamp on any headset on any of my bicycles.
At some point in time either you or a shop did something that knackered your top nut on your 600EX headset.
