Replacement rewind Knob for K1000

soph22 · 12-07-2016, 10:32 PM

Hi,
So somehow the rewind knob on my Pentax k1000 fell off and I've looked on eBay to try find a new one but no one in the U.K. Seems to have that specific one! Anyone know if you can use a different models rewind knob on it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lucky you. K1000 parts are very common. There are probably half a dozen K1000 rewind knobs on eBay right now. Even if you can't find the knob, a K1000 parts body could probably be found for ten bucks.

I have a big problem trying to find a rewind knob for my K. They never show up on eBay and the cheapest parts camera on there right now is $148.

A K must be low volume compared to K1000 and the knobs across the K1000, Kx,... will interchange even if some look different.

Hi Adam,

I have a Honeywell Pentax, really similar to the k1000. I can send you payment for shipping if you can help me replace my rewind knob.

Thanks

I know this post is old, but I'm having the same problem -- the rewind knob on my K-1000 fell off. I'm looking for a replacement. I would gladly pay you and/or pay shipping. It's the old style version, black with the silver lever.

Hey guys!
I too am in the same predicament! If anyone has one of the old pentax k1000 rustling round I'd be happy to paypal you some postage or a few coins in exchange!
Let me know

Hi everyone,

I also have the same problem.

Seems very fickle for the rewind to simply fall off... but none-the-less I am now on the hunt for my own replacement.

The only problem is I am located in New Zealand!

If any of you know where I could find one please let me know! I miss taking photos with my baby!

Thanks heaps
