    Ben,

    Is your Base Location the same as it was two years ago?  The first thing I would look at is that the 542 lost power, or was shut down for an extended period and came back on with Autobase disabled, or put into Autobase Here Mode, and it grabbed a new base position, thus shifting your lines.  If your Base Name in the front screen is Auto0000X, then that's most likely what happened.  If you have it, put your old base position back in the receiver from when you set the lines and they should shift back.

    We don't have a very recent copy of the 542 manual, (Not sure if Trimble ever produced a newer one) but here is the one we have:
    AgGPS_4x2_5x2_3.30B_UserGuide_63198-00-ENG-MD.pdf

    Google Docs remove preview

    UPDATE:  We also have the QRC that was included with the 542's
