No problem, I hope you can solve the issue. Worst case scenario you can use your K1000 like that. It seems it is not too spread (whatever it is)

I have a similar, but not exactly the same, issue on an SP1000 (mine is a big horisontal line)

as others have said, I believe it is damage to the silver coatings inside the prism.

prism desilvering

This is prism desilvering. I service used cameras for a camera store. Sadly the store has two K1000 cameras that are now parts cameras because this. If you could buy a new prism you probably wouldn't want to pay for it. As things get worse it will affect meter accuracy. Right now it probably is just annoying.
