(snip) Eric Hendrickson has a very good reputation for Spotmatics and manual K-mount cameras. http://pentaxs.com/ If you have to ship it, Derby, ship it to someone you know. Have them take it in for repair, test it out afterward, and then send it back to you once it's working properly.
I also can recommend Eric. He has repaired two MXen and several other Pentaxes for me, and he has a stash of old bodies he uses for parts. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
