I recently found a K1000 for a low price and everything seemed OK. Now I find the meter sometimes is right on, but more often it is over by several stops (compared to 2 other bodies which agree). I have a new battery in place and the compartment seems clean enough. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Speaking of repair manuals (Mark Roberts reference), does anyone have information regarding how to adjust a K1000 meter and how to get to it? ................. Jim, if the battery is new and the contacts clean try bending the contact spring GENTLY outwards for better contact. Also clean contact areas with a clean pencil eraser. That should solve the intermittent problem. Rather than opening the camera why not just change the ISO adjustment to make the camera match your known standard? All my old cameras need this to get on target. Bill Lawlor
