If I am not mistaken that screw is reverse threaded so it would be next to impossible to find outside of a parts camera. Possibly the good news is that the same screw was probably used on many other bodies than the K1000.

Probably the later Spotmatics or other early K-mount bodies like the KM, KX, K2.

The K2 uses a different screw. Model 23102 (you see the number on the back of the bottom plate) spotmatics and all other soptmatics including SP1000, SP500 Spotmatic II, Spotmatic F, ES and ESII, KX, KM and K1000. It is left hand screw and is generally broken when people think it is threaded normally.

The K1000 was actually a Spotmatic with a different lens mount. K1000's fetch inflated prices these days, even broken ones, but you could probably buy one of the later Spotmatics, "non-working, for parts" etc, from Ebay relatively cheaply.
