Welcome to the Forums from Australia. Enjoy that K1000. It is a very good camera.

Indeed, there is no K-1000. There's the K1000 through:

Pentax K1000 - Pentax Manual Focus Film SLRs - Pentax Camera Reviews and Specifications

Hyphens didn't really start being used until the AF era, and now they're quite common on DSLRs.

Ohhhh, I didn't even think about the hyphen thing. LOL! Thank you for clearing that up for me.
