Hi there,
I'm not new to photography but for some strange reason I didn't own anything by Pentax until recently (somehow pushed by a Pentax-fan friend). And since I enjoy fixing old cameras (and other good old techincal items) I made my entrance to Pentax the hard way: stuck Pentax ME Super + stuck SMC-M 50mm 1:2 lens. Hopefully, if time allows me, the situation is going to change soon.
I'd be even more happy if in the process I could find out some useful techincal details that would help other people in need here.
Regards,
Daniel

Welcome to Pentax and the forum Daniel. You're experience in fixing old SLR cameras is a rare and valuable expertise. Other than owning a Spotmatic, I don't have a lot of experience with the film SLR's, however jump over to the Film SLR sub-forum. There are a lot of folks on this forum that have a ton of knowledge in that area.

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your message. I haven't done SLRs yet, I've only worked on rangefinders. I mean I've been into SLRs, for various simple fixes (cocking blockages under the bottom plate, dirty viewfinders) but not down to the same level I went to with the rangefinders. But the experience will come. I've got another stuck ME Super and I'll try to compile a working one from the two dead ones
