Konica Auto S3 some questions

I've had a beater Konica auto S3 for a while now.
It's cute as can be but quite punished from previous owners.
Last week I finally shot a roll wide open with no battery. The lens seems aligned and is sharp so I'll put it into rotation.
What is the deal with the bulb setting? How can you choose an aperture to match your chosen time of shutter open?
Seems the only option is to remove the battery and shoot the thing aperture wide open so proper ev can be calculated.
Any input? Any other tips with this little beast? Thank you for your replies.
