Thanks for all the info and suggestions. 
Per Chris Martin notes, I tightened the pivot bolts for the nose gear and 
main gear. Seems like problem is reduced by 1/2 to 2/3 so definite improvement. 
However still have some shimmy so will do  some other experiments to try and 
determine the exact cause of problem. Appears to be a harmonics, resonate 
frequency problem involving the two main gear and nose gear flexing. 
Will report any findings.
