This happens to all lathes where the head stock rotates, including the 1624. It is really easy to fix, just loosen the headstock, realign the points and tighten it again. Nova even sells a tool to simplify the process if you want.
What speeds is it capable of? I'd be most worried about the headstock and tailstock getting out of alingment. It's hard to tell from the picture how well it will hold togething having only a single rail. My guess is that the base of the tailstock relies on the top of the stand to stop it from torquing. You may want to look into a Headstock Alignment pin. The one linked is for 2MT (most common), but they can also be found in 1MT. This will help ensure that the headstock and tailstock are aligned which will reduce the wobble or vibration.
