The screw in the body is just to provide a guide hole for putting a very small screwdriver through and meeting the adjuster-screw inside, it has no other purpose.

i think it got you confused because you removed top cover... put cover back and adjust just with small screwdriver...

Thank you both for the help and suggestions!
Following the advice of Wolves I have removed the pivot, cleaned the spring in lighter fluid, re-tightened it a bit, and indeed had to slightly unscrew the screw controlling the adjuster-screw thread, which appeared to be too tight.
I've just put everything back, and re-adjusted horizontal/vertical alignment at infinity, plus close-range tweaking.
It seems to be perfect now, I'm gonna try a new film - hopefully this beautiful camera is fully functional now
You guys rock

Glad to be of help. Not too bad seeing how it's years since I was "under the hood" of an FSU (not been needed, luckily).Yes indeed, he does
Thanks
