Steering Box

My 1930 had a lot of play in the steering wheel--5-6 inches. I pulled the steering column assembly and took it to one of the local guru's who said he thought it could be adjusted back to within tolerances. I put it back together and it was much better at first but after a few hundred miles it is getting sloppy again.
My question is after 83 years can the adjustment gizmos become so worn that they won't hold in the correct configuration and the gear box has to be rebuilt.
 
I think what you're experiencing is common. Its due for another set of adjustments, do them in the car, its a lot easier.
