Do I detect skepticism in Rick's encouragement?

Go on!  Have a go mate.  Get the itty bitty tools out and have a play.  
There's enough clues here and elsewhere to get you started on tweaking the
right screws.

One trick I worked out was to mount the body on a tripod, pointing at the
ground.  Take off the back and lay a focussing screen from an R camera on
the film guides.  Then you can check the focus.  The screen has to be one
way up but I can't remember which.  You'll work it out.

Vertical alignment has something to do with the screw at the front.  
Range alignment is to do with the cam follower arm and its gorgeous little
levers and pulleys inside behind it.

Let us know how you go!
