All good input. Thanks fellas. By the way, I did mount a known true wheel in the fork while it was mounted and it was dead center.
Your string test is interesting Randy. Wish I had a Workmate, but I'm sure I can rig something. That info is all a good help, thank you.

BTW, why don't they still sell this simple tool? Or do they?

I can only see that highly complicated Park tool at $150, or the less than satisfying Icetoolz, etc., bearing separator type thing.
