There should be very little to no play at all from the TB shaft. Most likely worn shaft bushings/bearings are to blame. Common problem. Ebay machinists usually replace them with sealed needle bearings when they perform the overbores on their cores to help eliminate this problem.
I have this problem too and emailed one of the guys about installing the needle bearings without overboring my TB just as a rebuild proceedure. IIRC, he said it would be like $40-$50 plus shipping to do it. I must have deleted the email though, or I would have given you his email address. Just search on ebay and email a few of them and they'll be glad to help you out...
