Default Needle position adjustment on a Dressmaker 2000 machine

We got us a really nice Dressmaker 2000 machine. Uses cams and has 30 of them. When it got here we did the cursory inspection and I saw that the needle will not center. When the lever is centered the needle it to the left.
If you try a ZZ stitch the needle will hit either the foot or the needle plate or both.

The bobbin carrier moves side to side with the needle bar.

Now, I've looked inside trying to figure out what to adjust to move the needle back to center. However there is about a dozen lock and adjusting screws in and around the parts that control the position.

Does anyone here have any experience adjusting these machines they would share?

Here's the GW pic, you can see it's a Japanese made machine. No idea by whom though.
