One thought I had (see fig 113 in service manual) is there is some de-coupling of pallet cam from the rest of the speed system. I think this because 1/60 shutter speed is defined as "full aperture, no retard", which I interpret at the pallet cam does not engage any additional levers. If something is decoupled, then it makes sense to be stuck at 1/60. I pulled my Pentax H1a and did a relative shutter speed test and it looks like the K1000 is indeed at 1/60 speed. Still investigating the source of the problem, though.
