Hi, Bob, Yup, same here. My repair shop has no problem fitting K1000 meters into Spots - there's one in my silver SP! Other than that, nothing more than a CLA and seals has been needed to keep mine going.
And, as you say, almost 2 million of them were sold, most to hobbyists. Many of them have been sitting in attics or closets after only a few years use, and are still in pristine condition. Even mint Spotmatics can be gotten on eBay for under $300US. Mint minus, with still working meters can be gotten for much, much less. -frank Bob Rapp wrote: > Hi Frank, > There were about 1.75 million Spotmatic SP manufacturer and Pentax parts > are available in some parts of the world.
