Pentax sells User Manuals for $4.00 each - grossly overpriced.:-)
"If you would like to order an instructional manual for a PENTAX Product,
please call our Literature Department at (800) 729-1419 ext. 307. We are
able to provide (via US Mail) manuals for all current, and most non-current
products. There is a $4 charge for each instructional manual to cover
shipping and handling. This service is available for United States residents
only."
They'll send you the manual and send you the bill with it so no charge even
involved.
I've done this twice - I have a son.

| Hi folks,
|
| After a lot of years of P&S I have just entered the wonderful world of
SLR,
| fstops and this elaborate mailing list ;o) by receiving an old KM
body+55mm
| SMC lens as a gift from a friend. They have spent the past 10 years in a
| cellar together, but all the mechanics are still functioning very well.
The
| only thing malfunctioning is the light meter I guess. After cleaning the
| battery contacts and changing the old battery (which had leaked) by a 1.5V
| alkaline type new one, the meter needle is way up in the +direction.
| Changing film speed, shutter time or aperture has no effect, the needle
| stays up. Is this a common way of the light sensing cell to tell that it
has
| perished or am I doing something wrong?
| Further I was wondering what happens when I turn the edge of the most left
| dial (seen from behind). I guess its for setting film type en length but
| what happens exactly?
| Are there any user manuals and/or repair manuals available for the KM
| (perhaps somewhere in pdf file format)?
|
| greetz, Marcel
