ISO: GE Terminet 300 knowledge

Hey all --

I picked up a GE Terminet 300 which appears to be mostly functional, but is
in need of alignment --  it's printing fairly smudged garbage with a few
recognizable characters intermixed.  Character positioning (horizontal)
seems to be fairly irregular, for the characters that print clearly.

The unit has suffered some knocks in its life and it's clear the photocell
board has come slightly loose, which I'm sure is not unrelated, so I'm
studying the service docs to get a better idea what's going on.  There's an
alignment gauge which I could reproduce if I had any idea what it's specs
are.  The service docs are a bit vague and the photocell assembly is a bit
difficult to see, buried beneath the print band on the left hand side.

Anyone out there have any experience with these?  Any wisdom to impart here?

Also, anyone have any spare print fingers?  My print band's missing one (a
"9") and I suppose it wouldn't be a terrible idea to have a few extras just
in case...

Thanks,
- Josh
