V35 light path off center?

I recently acquired a V35 Focomat and the rectangle of light on the baseboard seems to be off center, favoring the left. At 14x it is almost an inch closer to the edge of the baseboard than it is on the right side. Is this normal? Should the rectangle of light be perfectly centered on the baseboard? Autofocus and everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks!

...just saw this, animalhairs.

 

Check that the central column is dead centre - it is not inconceivable that the column was not centred prior to being bolted to the baseboard. Check that the negative holder in the negative carrier assembly is properly inserted. Check that none of the four built-in adjustable blades used for masking within the negative carrier assembly are in use.

 

Hope this helps.
