Please know, I've been into only 10 or so examples

That's 10 more than most us have taken apart! All of your insight is really appreciated!

Speaking of can't see... The trust washer(s) at bronze bushings are phenolic and very tiny.
Do you see a thrust washer here? Does all this look well centered?

With glasses a magnifying glass, the answer is yes. I tried a close up photo, lets see how it came out.
Meh

try to wiggle the drum.

All too easily. :(
The input spindle has just a little side play at the drum. Using a dial indicator its about 0.004"
But the drum has around 0.020"
Think this needs to go to watchmaker for repair...
