Bendix/Scintilla SF6LN Mag maintenance manual

Folks my partner has a life time supply it would seem of Bendix/Scintilla SF6LN mag parts besides the two that are still being run on our 170. Not to mention parts seem readily available.
And even though between the two of us we also have another lifetime supply of the more modern Bendix S6LN-21 mags and maintenance manuals for them, it would seem we will be running the big boxxy SF6LN mags.
Problem is we don't have any maintenance manual for the SF6LN. I do have service instructions for the SF4LN which is part of the Maintenance and Overhaul Manual with Spare parts Catalog for the A50, A65, A75, A80 Continental Aircraft Engines and I'll bet it is the same but I'd like to have the correct one.
So I'm wondering if anyone might have a PDF of the service manual for the SF6LN?

Bruce,
I'm kinda busy right now, but I think I have an old service manual. I'll look, and if someone doesn't have it on PDF or something. I'll send it with Dad to convention.

Sacramento Sky Ranch offers it thru their Mechanics Toolbox software:

Here's a link that may be of help (each page is individually available of the other manual):

George, I'm looking for the
SF6LN not the S6LN-21 your Aeronca link goes to. Sacromento does have the file I'm looking for but you can't open it without their $oftware.

Bruce,
If that link doesn't work for Sacramento Sky Ranch, I have the Mechanics ToolBox program and can pull the .pdf off and send it to you.

Bruce,
I can't post it here because it is 1.23MB and the board only allows 1.0MB files, I'll dig up your email and send it.
If anyone else needs something pulled from the program, let me know. I would highly suggest the program to anyone, it's only $25-$35 and well worth it. You can update it continually after you have the program installed.
v/r,
Jud

All,
Thanks to Judd I was able to get a copy of the overhaul/service manual for the SF6LN-12 Bendix/Scintilla mags. These are the big box mags that have the leads coming out the top.
Brad thanks but that manual is for the smaller much more common S-20 series mag. I happen to have that manual as well as a few others like the S-700 and S-1200.
BTW the manual for the SF6LN mags is a total of 8 pages, 4 of which are the parts manual. It's a pretty simple and straight forward mag to inspect and adjust.
