Where can you buy them??
I see some green ones listed on e-bay but they only state
Digital Camera Vulnerable Coil Aperture Magnet Coupler For Pentax Camera K30 K50
are these compatible with the K-70?

I love the question
Form me currently I shoot the Pentax KP for digital and the go to lens is the SMC DA 18-135 F/3.5-5.6. I love the range and it works well
My wife shoots the K70 and has the Sigma 18-300 and loves it
For film on the K1000 I would say the 50mm F2 is my go to lens, the second lens is the 135 F2.5

First I would cry! 45 years of accumulating gear would be a hard loss!
Second, I am in my 60's and it would most likely be the last replacement I would go through. Downsizing would be a consideration.
I have tried other gear, I used a canon for about two years, and I still preferer Pentax.
If I lost everything and could replace with anything?
35mm DSLR category I would purchased a K70 (or used KP) and the same lenses I currently have (18-135, 55-300 zooms) and add a 100mm macro
I like this setup and it works well for me. My wife would have a similar setup (K70) but with a single zoom (Sigma 18-300mm) and loves it.
I would also purchase a K1000 and a few basic lenses similar to what I have now (50mm, 28mm 200mm) as I still like film.
Medium format, well I have a variety, all film, and that would be another discussion.
Most likely I would replace my Mamiya 645 Pro with the same or similar setup for medium format film. This has become my go to medium format camera (645)
All the other medium format gear I would replace with a Pentax 6x7 and lenses.
Then you have extra gear, tripods, bags, and the like to consider. That I would have to research before making a decision.
I live in rural Wyoming so a trip to a big city to look at selections would be in order.

How did you become a Pentaxian ?
In 1977 I purchased a Pentax K1000 with a 50mm lens. I also purchased a 28mm and 135mm and a 2x adapter. At the time I considered the options and Pentax seemed the best for what I was doing, a lot of hiking and back country time, where if the battery went dead I could still take pictures. I actively used this setup over several decades and literally around the world.
When I "went digital" I traded a lot of items into KEH, which now I whish I had not done. I have since purchased another K1000 and started doing film again, I once again have my "original" setup. I find film slows me down and makes me think about the process, and takes me back to why I like photography in the first place. I still do digital but I enjoy film too.
