The Q I gave as a gift to a friend had that same degree of flutter. The only way it could be completely eliminated was to replace all 3 weights and springs from a parts carcass.
So the warble is Being caused by the governor?
Yes- either by out of balance weights or springs that are not of equal strength. Caused uneven rotation and subsequent flutter.
After giving this a little more thought- Your and my machines could have been like this since day 1. I've worked on and owned several Q's over the years and these 2 are the only ones I've ever found with this problem.
Replacing all 3 spring/weights cleared it up perfectly. And yes, you audio sounds just as bad as mine did beforehand.
Hope this is use full.
