I bought a second Pentax Spotmeter V off the auction site because the price was too good to pass up.
The original price was $75 (free shipping) and I thought of buying it...then the seller sent a discounted offer of $50.
Listed as untested and found at an estate sale.
Well...everything works and it cleaned up real nice. Just missing the lens cap and I replaced the original strap.
Next, I want to add a Zone VI decal like I have on the other meter.
Super happy with how this all turned out...

@Pal_K: I never "future buy" or "future download" any manual as every time I have, the thing I bought it for turns out to be broken or full of fungus etc.
This week I bought 2 Mamiya 120 inserts with cases, but the hinge on one case has broken so I've put several layers of thick, black, sticky tape to act as a hinge. This insert was only meant to be a spare in case one of my other 3 broke. I also bought a Mamiya Right Angle Finder, presumably a Model 2. but there's no indication on the thing what version it is.

A 45 degree prism finder for the Rollei 6006. With that addition, it's now the most massive and heavy camera I own, an utter beast to carry, and boy, does it get some strange looks. Nevertheless, I'm loving it!

The black Pentax MX I ordered from Japan is showing up today, if FedEx may be believed. I'm eager to see if it's really in the condition the seller indicated!

The Pentax MX in black is very desirable! I bought a used one that turned out to have a significant dent in a bad place on the upper right corner where it would be difficult to deal with. So I got a spare black top for it that had a small dent in the pentaprism area and my friend at the local auto body shop tapped it out and sprayed the part black with matching texture, like new! I dedicated that black camera to color film while the silver MX got B&W...
Enjoy your "new" rig!

Picked up a really nice 52mm Kaligar lens for my Hasselblad 1000f. Only thing I now need to find is the adapter!

Condition looks and feels fantastic, the shutter and mirror have a stiffer/tighter feel than my old one, like the mechanism is less worn. Film is loaded (Kentmere 400 because it's overcast). As long as nothing unexpected happens, I think it's a winner!

The MX is a great camera, I enjoyed mine when I had it.

Very nice Pentax MX! Probably my favorite Pentax SLR.
