I was wondering how come a Helios looks like a Takumar until I realized that the way you were showing the problem was to take a video with the Helios and move it so that the sound of its wobbling makes it onto the recording. I expected you would shoot the actual wobbling of the Helios.
I did disassemble one of these lenses, but it was over a year ago, so I don't remember the details. I remember there is more than one set of 3 screws, but I don't remember if there was a set that might affect the stability of the mount. Could be that one screw is loose or broken or missing, and that allows the mount to wobble, but even if you would find it, would you have a replacement for it?
The blades should be oily - this is a preset lens.
Better look for another sample - these lenses should be really easy to find in Romania. Or just use it as it is.
BTW, did you get an SLR in the end? What are you using these days?
