PLAY: as in when u check your wheel bearing play on an car. Take ones hand and place on top of wheel and the other on bottom. Now, pull one hand whilst pushing the other.
Ive got play in mine. You could call it twisting diagonally left to right or top to bottom along along axle center. There is no gear oil in rear at moment. it is dry as a bone, fresh put together. Bearings are freshly repacked. In my humble assessment I feel the bearings are not fully seated in their races.
My other eldo has very , very slight play too but I would guesstimate it to be normal.
thanks

Please define "play". Rotational? The way the wheel turns. Sliding lateral along the axle? Twisting diagonally left to right along the axle center? Twisting diagonally top to bottom along the axle center? Nobody will be able to opine on your issue unless you can be more specific about the play.

Just got my rear bearings set up by Moe at cyclegarden. Installed the hub on the drive with the brake drum and torqued it down.
I have alot of play in the wheel...my other eldo does not have this. any
ideas as to what did wrong??
Reason for Moe doing the bearings is I lost the spacer and shims.....turned the shop inside out and could not find them:(
thnx.
