Play in Lucas dizzy shaft

Hi. Not as sometimes happens with cam spindle.  This is the spindle that holds the vacuum capsule. About 1mm side to side at capsule end and a bit less the vernier wheel end. Also the the spindle will turn about 1mm.

Never noticed this before, is this normal do you know please?.

(PS. Haven't been worrying about car for a couple of weeks, so thought I'd best find something!)

thanks, Dave
