Light Meter Pentax K1000 Battery at Toby Mcintosh blog

Light Meter Pentax K1000 Battery. I have a pentax k1000 that was my father's, and then mine. The k1000 has a battery check function that will also 'peg' the needle at the top '+' part of the exposure scale. It is completely mechanical and needs no battery to run, except for one tiny 20¢ a76 cell to run its light meter. Either use a handheld light meter to. About 8 years ago the light meter broke. The pentax k1000 is fully usable without batteries, however, most people would prefer to use the k1000 with a light meter as they would with any camera. The voltage of alkaline batteries taper off as as they drain eventually causing inaccurate light meter readings as the battery ages. Take photographs with the k1000 without a battery. The pentax k1000 is a 35mm slr. I bought a new battery because i was sure that was the problem, but after installing the new battery the light sensor still didn't. I’m sure this issue is fixable but it would require soldiering a new wire or at least the old wire back in place. All of the camera's functions except the exposure meter operate normally without a battery.
