Ah, nope, not pedal wiggle - bottom bracket wiggle.
So when I push/pull one pedal or crank arm away or toward the frame, I can see and feel the other one moving about 1mm or slightly less. I don't think there's anything wrong with the balls or races, it has just gotten slightly loose.
Not by much, but... It needs to be tightened sooner or later anyway. I guess I'm a bit traumatized by an earlier experience with another bike where I had first double, triple, quadruple checked online whether it opens clockwise or counter-clockwise - and ended up banging it to the wrong direction for a good while.
Happen to know which way I should turn which bit to just get in there enough, to tighten it a little bit? Dutch bike, mostly French parts, 1972.
