Thank you very much Photogem!
I succeeded to replace the green solenoid in my K-70 with the white one from my DS – flash release mechanism.
I installed the green one in the DS and now both are working very well!
For those who want to open the top plate of the DS I uploaded a few pictures.

And don't forget the flash. You need one capable of HSS for fill-in in daylight.
The Pentax alternatives are expensive ($400 - $500)
I recommend Godox TT350P - Pentax TTL, HSS, bounce and swivel head, radio trigger and triggered - $85.

Don't waste your money. If you really want to get in a Pentax system and stay, get a proper starter kit.
Your problem is the limited budget (only $1200) so forget FF (even second hand). So APS-C.
For portraiture and travelling:
Get a K-70 instead of KP (only $550 with holidays savings) - image quality is the same and it has better ergonomics.
Buy the best all-around zoom from Pentax which is 16-85mm ($500 these days) and the two plastic fantastic - DA 35/2.4 and DA 50/1.8. (around $100 each).
For portraiture only:
a KP ($750 with savings) and DA 70/2.4 ltd. ($400 best deal). Add DA 35/2.4 for general purposes.
Buy full-frame lenses only if you want, sometimes in the future, to switch to FF body.
But that means much more money: FA 77 ltd. instead DA 70 ltd. (+$300) or FA 35/2 instead DA 35/2.4 ($250).
Your lenses on FF body are not suitable for portraiture and don't fit the 36mpx sensor resolution.
