My 35RC (bought from greyhoundman a while back) unfortunately took a fall today in my bag and the RF is now considerably off (doesn't focus to infinity, off by about a foot at close-focus).
Can anybody give me help on how to re-align the RF so I can use this little gem again?

I believe the screw in the top film guide rail above the shutter/lens mech when you open the back is the one to turn. Although I could be wrong. Shadowfox or greyhoundman would certainly know.

IIRC, the screw in the film guide rail is a cover, you take it out fully, then there is a much smaller one inside- that is hard to see- that controls alignment.
I set both my 35RCs to infinity and don't seem to have any close focus problems.
Its much easier than the top-off alignment for most compact rfs.

Thanks ben, that did it for me--no wonder I couldn't find it even though I took the top off!

Glad it worked! And just for archiving purposes here's Rick Oleson's tech notes, which also cover meter adjustment and most other things to keep your RC running:
