Joao,
I think you could use the SX-70 repair book Ed Rommey sells:
http://www.edromney.com/
check this site also:
http://www.chemie.unibas.ch/~holder/SX70.html
it has very good info on SX-70, including a section on disassembly.

In case you are not aware, you could use Time Zero SX-70 Film in any
Polaroid camera that takes 600 film, check this article:
http://www.polaroidwork.com/articles/article4.jsp
A friend of mine that is heavily involved in SX-70 manipulations, use to go
through 3 or 4 SX-70 cameras each year, now that SX-70 are becoming too
expensive (and scarce in some areas), he buys OneStep cameras instead.
SX-70 have better optics than OneStep cameras, but if your aim is to do
emulsion manipulation, optics quality should not matter. Anyway, that is an
alternative if your SX-70 can't be revived.

Guillermo
