He already did that. See above.

OP, if you don't know how to verify proper spoke tension and don't have a wheel dishing tool, you should stop fooling with the wheel yourself. I am assuming you have it straight in the dropouts, so there is a real problem. Take it to a pro, preferably a wheel builder. If that isn't possible see the best LBS you have available.
