I view this forum on a smartphone. For me, the video hyperlinks are greyed out and, therefore, not accessible.

One at a time, unlock one string, remove the screw, wing collar and circlip to access the hex nut that fastens each machinehead to the headstock. If necessary, nip up the hex nut. Reassemble. Restring. Retune.
Repeat for all six machineheads.
If each machinehead is fastened correctly, any free play in the string post must be the result of wear in the gear housing.
If the entire string post shifts whenever the vibrato is operated, it is time to replace the machineheads.
It is possible to open up the gear housing of a Schaller M6 but it is a right faff, hindered by the modified string post.
