Vintage Kenmore Sewing Machine Has Noisy Shuttle Hook?

I have a vintage Kenmore 1802 with a noisy shuttle hook. There are no mechanical issues. It sews just fine. It has been cleaned and oiled and recently re-greased the gear box. The machine is quieter, but there is a noisy clicking rattle in the shuttle. Yes, there is play in the shuttle hook, always has been. The spring on the driver is intact. There is about a 1/25 inch clearance between blunt end of shuttle and spring driver. The shuttle hook is a J-G2. I don't "know stuff" I've just been doing lots of reading. When the bobbin is removed the noise persists.
