C-8 Disassembly Drawing Wanted!

I have just purchased a 80,s model Super C-8 to replace my G-5 and I am very concerned with the mirror flop that this scope has. Also this scopes focus is poor even after very meticulous collimation with a Kendrick 2" Laser Collimatior. Very poor resolution of Saturn, Mars and Jupiter with under 15mm eyepiece.

I read in another post about lubing the focuser assembly but without drawings or instructions I am unwilling to remove the rear cell of this scope.

I am very able with electronics and camera optics and have a semi "clean room" to work in but would like advice from someone with C-8 dissembly experience before I try this myself.

Thanks,
