FED technical questions

I bought my FED on a flea market. I have problems with the film advance
mechanism. Sometimes the 3 strokes cycle is actually 2 strokes and
that causes pictures overlap. I have a feeling that simple lubrication 
would fix it. But I don't want to open the camera body before I know
a bit what is inside.

I also would like to get rid of the limitation disabling the shutter
release after 21 stereo pair is taken. I am thinking about loading longer
film.

The third thing I would like to try is to change an aperture that 
is set in B mode from 2.8 to 5.6 (like in the FED BOY).

For all these tasks I need something like a small service manual.
Do you know if it is possible to obtain some mechanical drawings
or any instruction how to open and 'play' with the internal structure
of that camera?

Any input will be greately appreciated.


Wlad
