Dave:

I would have to say that the toroid was not wound tight enough if the core
still wiggles..  When I wind them I pull each turn tight before starting on
the next turn and then I install them by passing the leads through the holes
in the circuit board and tack soldering each lead.  Then I go back and apply
tension to each lead as I reheat the solder connection and remove the slack.
I do this to all leads and when finished the toroids are very secure and do
not wiggle.
