Well, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that label. I have a small pro-hobby repair and frame building side gig. I have a few handfuls of repairs under my belt including top, seat and headtube replacements. I haven't seen nearly as much as Doug or many of the others here.
Doug seems to be outlining the approach I would take. Grind out the lugs to slide in a 32mm 1" headtube.

I sent you a pm. I'm not having luck with any builders within driving distance, so I'd be up to shipping it out to you if you were up for the repair.
