Duh. I used both names Seagull & Cosina in the same thought. It does, however, look very much like a KM but with LED enhancements.

I didn't think Cosina made the K1000, Pentax subcontracted it to Seagull. Seagull is a Chinese company that builds their own cameras, (used to be knockoffs of other peoples designs), and subcontracts to other manufactures. I think Pentax sold them the K1000 tooling when it was "worn out". Since I believe it was the same tooling as the other KX and KM there was already a place for a self timer. I think one sold under the Seagull name also has a DOF preview.
I could be completely wrong about all of this however...
