Take an image of the bike from behind looking straight along the wheel and make sure the image shows the derailleur hanger and derailleur. Post that image. We might be able to tell if the hanger is bent.

Thanks for the pertinent input.
Unreliable data I know but just hoisting the rear wheel and pedaling while looking makes me thing there is a wobble at one spot. I will give the wheel spokes a better look. The hanger seems O.K.. But as you say practiced eyes are best. Unfortunately up 'til now I haven't been able to post a pic'. I will try again. In the meantime I will look for loose or damaged spokes.
Thanks
