Seems like you're hard on your equipment.
Apart from getting a lot more use out of it, I treat it a lot more gently
than I ever did my SRT-101, which is still working perfectly nearly forty
years after it was given to the thirteen year old version of myself.
IIRC, the SRT 101, like other slrs of its generation, was build like a tank,
more metal, less plastic than todays cameras plus they were almost devoid of
electronics.
Then again, there's a lot more to go wrong in a K-5 than a late 60's SLR
where the only electronics is a light meter.
Hard to imagine other brands of cameras, similar vintage, would have
held up any better.
That's possible. Though I can't imagine anything I've done that could
cause a power supply board to fail. Or, for that matter, that would cause
something in the viewfinder of a K100 to delaminate.
