Meter is always on on a K1000. Take the lenscap off to meter/shoot,
put it back on after you're done.
That's why I never wanted one. Daft!
From page 7 of the K-1000 manual:
"As the K-1000 has the built-in photoswitch, the exposure meter turns on
as soon as the photocell receives the light. To minimize the battery
consumption, keep the lens cap on when the camera is not being used."
I have two of them that I use infrequently. The meters work after months
of inactivity.
There's something very satisfying about the clunking sound that shutter
makes.
