Good to see I'm not too far from the mark. I can see a spring loaded arrow in my future- although I've found it easy enough to set it up either in the tailstock chuck or with the hollow end of the arrow shaft positioned over the tailstock centre, so whatever is in the tailstock at the time can stay there.
A friend loaned me LH Sparey's 'The Amateur's Lathe' a couple of years ago and he shows the gimballed wobbler that krv3000 describes, the free end is much longer than the end that engages the punch mark, so the eccentricity is magnified at the free end. A nice tool, but I like using the clock like John does in his video, knowing exactly how far to adjust in each direction. I must make a second chuck key to make this easier.
The last bit of your video was gold John.
