Konica S3 Repair Manual?

Anyone know where I can download the repair manual for the Konica S3 or have a detailed instruction set on taking apart the lens from the front? I've been on and off Google for a week now and I've found nothing.

There is actually a reprint of the original repair manual for the S3/C35FD on eBay. If I can't find one online, are there any S3 enthusiasts here that would be willing to chip in a few bucks to purchase this? I can buy it, scan it, and host it to the public domain indefinitely.

Background: I purchased a S3 locally in rough shape for $50. It was a gamble and at the time of purchase, everything checked out except for the light meter. The light meter turned out to be an easy fix as it just had corroded wires on the inside. Recently the lens, especially the shutter speed ring, got more and more wobbly and now the shutter fires intermittently because of the loose shutter speed ring. I suspect it just has a few loose screws inside.

micromoogman, I actually found your tear down instructions a few weeks ago and found them quite helpful. I really appreciate the pictures. Thanks!
