I have nice Konica Auto S3, which does not seem to align the images in the you see in the viewfinder when focusing. Or actually they do align horisontally, but not vertically. Is that possible to fix?

Hi Schmogle, yes it is, the procedure is the same as on the K 35 (there is a description of it somewhere in the forum's archives).
Vertical alignment can be done quite easily. There's a cover screw right underneath the eyepiece, accessible when the camera's back door is open. The adjustment screw sits right in that open hole and can be turned by a 2,0x50mm screwdriver.
