Thanks for all the thoughtful input, folks -- very helpful. Thankfully, my KX is not the return - resell on eBay. While verifying the serial number, I thought I'd go thru the shutter speeds again. They seem to be okay, which leads me to believe the camera just needs proper "exercise." And I agree, Chris -- lacking the slowest shutter speeds would not make me ditch the camera. Especially since I have a Spotmatic SP-II, K-1000, K2, ME Super and P3. Guess I've got enough Pentax 35mm film cameras -- for now!
