My headset is a Campy Record with 20 caged balls. It became pitted with"auto-steering. The bottom race on the fork had visible pit marks. I removed balls from cage and installed with lots of new grease. This did not solve the problem. In the old days, there were several shops that could mill and polish the pitted races smooth. Has anyone ever done this? I live in San Diego and could not find anyone providing this service.

My headset has become indexed. The steering falls into a forward position very easily when held off the ground. I can feel in when I am riding too.
I read the Sheldon page on the subject but am not clear if I can fix it or not. Do I need to buy a whole new headset or can I just get bearings? How did it happen, was it my fault? Should I feel this sad?
So many questions...
It's a Shimano Pro like this, but silver:
