Does yours have QR rear hub?

As far as the freewheel wobble, I reinstalled the original freewheel and it still had wobble though not as much. From what I read here, I'm not going to worry.
yes, a QR hub and i use what is probably the original one. no problems holding the wheel.

and although i didn't explicitly state it, mine does not have a freewheel, but instead, a freehub. not that it makes much difference. IME, the cogs often wobble a little on either one. BTW, the rims say SATURNE or something similar on them. i'm sure they are original. it looks like it's a machine welded cromo frame with a big old unicrown fork and shimano oldschool wide cantis. built like a tank.
