Can you fit a small piece of brass shim around the shaft to take up some clearance? Perhaps another way would be to drill a small hole in the bearing housing where the looseness is and tap a thread say 1/8" or 3/16". Fit a brass screw in the hole so that it gently pushes the shaft toward one side of the bearing. These sound a bit agricultural but may be a possibility. The only real fix is the have the bearing holes enlarged and rebushed and possibly a new shaft.
