That one I can answer. Right next to the pneumatic tubing on the left side of the tower you should see a bracket with a piston attached to it. The piston moves the "feelers", which, as you correctly said, should (knock on wood) position the tube right where it needs to go. The feelers are welded aluminum rod (1/4", I think), and we have 2 spare sets, just in case-.

EDIT: Thanks dhoizner. That "identifying mark" works too.
