And, I finally got it right. I read the suggested article and watched a few instructional videos. I pulled the headset apart and found I had put in one set of bearings upside down. I turned it over, gave everything a bit more grease, and it all fit back together nicely. It's now turning smooth as silk and there's no wobble.

Old Schwinns are tanks, yes, but they're fun to work on.

Thanks
