Shopsmith Bandsaw Alignment??

I have a 510 with the Shopsmith bandsaw purchased in 1992. In a recent issue of WOOD there was an article on bandsaw alignment. Among other things the article says to ensure that both bandsaw wheels are in the same plane. If I hold a level against the wheels on my bandsaw the wheels only touch the level in three places. Top of the top wheel and top and bottom of the bottom wheel. The bottom of the top wheel misses the level by 2-3mm. There does not appear to be any adjustment to correct this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
