Personally, if it were me and it was confirmed a collimation problem and it was going back to Takahashi I would give trying to collimate the cell myself with the caveat that I remember what screws I turned, how much I turned them and in what order.
Thanks. I'll email them and wait to hear what they say. I don't know what else it could be other than collimation.

Thinking back to when it happened, I do remember the dew shield sliding down because I didn't tighten the lock screws enough. It hit the collar which it rest on, but not very hard, and I didn't think anything of it, and I can't see how that could shift the lens cell???

Either way, I'm not really game to touch anything. There are Six adjustment screws from memory.
