I mean the way the bottom of the frame angles up as it
goes to the
right, and then hooks at the end. And the top edge then
correspondingly angles downwards to the left, and goes
fuzzy opposite
the hook on the bottom.
Your Rollei was dropped. The lensboard is not paralell to
the filmplane.
Have the same problem with a Cord Vb, although more
pronounced.
Look at your lensboard, is it perfect or somehow angled?
On mine the focalizing lens is recessed some mm when
compared to the taking lens. The previous owner must have
dropped the camera. The images it produces are like yours.

Its possible but I think if the lensboard was damaged
enough to cause this problem it would show up in other ways,
for instance, the focus might ve very stiff. The front cover
and the shutter and finder lens cover, are separate parts
from the actual lensboard and can be bent or out of
alignment due to missing shims without the lensboard itself
being damaged. Lensboard and lens parallelism is adjusted
with shims between the lensboard and the focusing struts.
In any case I can't understand how the lens being
slightly tilted would affect the frame lines.
