In the past, Ricoh has had some problems with slippage of the ITB causing alignment to fail after a few copies. If you have another machine available try swapping the ITB units.
I had one instant where at the back end of the shaft that the right hand ITB unit release lever there is a latch that had broken. Since it holds that end in position, it caused the unit to move forward slightly when the shutter solenoid for t he ID sensor engaged. This threw the adjustment off.
