I have a Pentax K1000 SLR that I got as my first 'camera gift' from my uncle quite a while ago. Sadly having bought a DSLR this one has been in the shed for a long time.
I wanted to use it last weekend but the camera 'broke'. By broke I mean the mirror just flapped up and stayed putt. The 'spring' action to get the mirror back to its reflecting position, does not work.
Apart from this, my camera suffers from a few other problems as well. I just wanted to know if there is a Pentax SLR specialist around who would be able to fix this using genuine parts if possible. This camera has a lot of sentimental value and I want to keep as original as possible.
Thanks in advance.
