My guess is that it's that bit of rubber that's protecting the axle...I
think
the mount is "bouncing" a bit. The effect is not really visible with the
old
camera when it was mounted atop the tail, where there isn't any rubber
involved.

Gonna try to protect the axle with nylon or wood, instead.

My guess is that it is not the rubber, but instead, the axle flexing.

Try mounting the camera on the axle over far to one side, right next to the
axle support, and see if you still get the "bounce." Use the rubber and
everything else just the same, for a control.

That was my response, in the silent film version.

That wasn't a goatee, but a pointed chin, made so from laughing so hard! ;-)

DVDs? That's at least two or three generations of technology too recent
for you, Unk.

Not a problem, Rich.
The kids and grand kids gladly handle these chores for me.

P.S.
No way will I let them near my Victrola/Gramaphone collection.

Yeah, that might **** Gramma right off...

When BOb says "DVD", he's referring to "Dichroic Viewmaster Disks."

Ah, all is clear now!

If y'all ever make it to Bellingham, Washington, there's the American Museum of
Radio and Electricity. Basically, two ex-Microsofties who liked to collect old
electronics set up a museum. Absolutely great place if you like old technology
(and who doesn't :-).

Anyway, on one of my visits, they actually cranked up a Victrola for us.

I was floored. Not only was that beast LOUD, the quality was surprising good,
too. Oh, of course, not as good as something from the '50s or so, of course.
But for NO electronics, just a wiggling needle and a really, REALLY big horn, it
did pretty well.

Thought I saw BOb's initials scratched on the bottom... :-)

Interesting ,I never noticed it until I had my satellite radio on playing thru 3
radios in the house.Two were newer solid state ones and the other was my 1949
Crosby and I could really hear the difference. So I had my kid send me another
old radio for the bedroom. How soon we forgot about having to wait for the radio
to "warm" up :-)

Got to go, the Great Gildersleeve is on grin

See ya

With the Bowie knife he bought directly from James Black, no doubt.
