Spotmatic (2)
KX (2)
K1000
MV
ME
ME Super
Super Program (2)
P30T
SV1
ZX-7

Non-Pentax: Canon T70, Zenit E, Zenit ET

All but the K1000 were acquired for the lenses that came with them. All but the P30T, SF1, & ZX-7 need to be CLA'd. But they do look very nice on the shelf.

I have slowed down on my collecting this year. Here is my inventory.
Spotmatic, SPII, SPIIa, SP500, SP1000, SPF, ES, ESII, H3
K1000, ME, ME super, Program Plus, MX
P3, P3n, PZ10, PZ70
SF1, SF1n, SF10
ZX50, ZX60, ZXm, ZX-L

Most of these cameras work and have been used in the last year. However, my purchase of a K20d has slowed down my film camera use.
I have two MEs that I have owned for nearly 30 years. Great cameras.

Most of you are making me feel better about how much photo gear I own.
I've got a Ricoh 500 "Jet" Rangefinder, a Petri/Kuribayashi 35, and, in SLRs, a Spotmatic, a KX, and a Praktica L2.

I also have a Chinon with a jammed shutter, but I don't think inoperable equipment counts.

Here is my comparatively small film camera collection. Lens OCD is more of an issue. Everything works and Eric has done all the Asahi/Pentax stuff.

Argus C3 (still my father's camera)
Olympus XA (favorite)

Asahi K (prized possession)
H1a (accidental purchase - I swear, I didn't mean to buy it)
Spotmatic SP Something to mounty my Takumars on w/o an adapter)
KX Black (original owner)
K2DMD (prized possession II)
MEF and AF35~80 (forgot about this one - just got it)
MESuper Black (original owner)

The fifth amendment comment cracked me up... Also pixelsaurus comment on time... well said.

Question. i have been looking online over the years and there is not a lot of video on say motor drives and shutter sounds. auto focus etc. Would there be any interest in me uploading some files to you tube? I know for the new digital bodies .. yea tons if it so for the older film bodies i would only assume someone would enjoy it.

I think I did a list in a similar thread a few months ago.
I currently have 40 film bodies, 5 of which I wish to sell.
No, I will not list them all again. But 4 are Pentax.
