I haven't either.  Many of the SL repairs are similar to repairs for the
Leicaflex Standard, so if you find the Leicaflex repair manual it will
apply to many SL repairs.  There are four different versions of the
Leicaflex so where ever there are differences in the Leicaflex Standard
repairs the instructions for the LAST version are closest to the SL
procedures.

This is also possible.  Is your meter cell ribbed or flat?
