    Having just taken apart a K1000 with the film counter plate you described I would happily have that conversation with you! They are a nightmare!!

    Love your videos. Especially your chaotic desktop but my OCD would struggle with the risk of mixing up all those screws!

    Thanks for the repair and the video, Alex! So far so good with this camera. :) I just shoot really slow so I have yet to finish a roll

    Hello,
    I just find a old k1000 who was to my grandfather.
    I changed the battery, and my light meter don’t change position when I change the shutter speed, with iris yes. You Aldready saw that? Thanks!

    Can you use the Prism our of an Asahi K1000 to replace the Prism in a China built K1000? Evelyn

    Hi. What was the bottle of ‘poison’ that you used in place of flux for soldering to steel?

    Thanks for the video! Could you share your overhead camera set up?

      Thanks for watching!
      Right now I'm just using a Canon EOS M6 with the kit 15-45mm lens. It works for now but I'm hoping to upgrade in the near future.

      @@robby969 Right now it's just a tripod pointing down, I kind of had a work space and then set the camera up so it's not as optimized as I'd like it but it's better than nothing. Alec Soth has a pretty good video goin over the setup he uses, which might work better.

      Some could say I'm just build different. My newer space is a lot tidier though haha

    dude, i have no idea why people do this. That camera is worth about $40-50. This repair probably cost $350+ dollars. What the hell are people thinking.

      I appreciate the comment and while I agree the K1000 should only cost about $50 they are selling for a lot more and while some shops may charge about that much for repairs my standard repair fee is $65. I charged a little more for this given the parts needed to complete the repair but I'm pretty sure it was still under $150. They are good cameras though and well worth the cost of repair I think but again I am biased.
