For anyone following this with interest...I didn't pay a lot for this machine and was fully aware I could be effin' it up good! But it worked! The handwheel is less wavy and I can spin it with just my fingertip!

    Now to get back to getting it fixed up yay! Thank you!
    Great! Now if it's spinning freely but the hand wheel still wobbles, then probably just the hand wheel is bent some. If the machine is working fine otherwise, then the wobbly hand wheel just gives it character.
