Sears KSX Super

This is my most recent camera acquisition, a second Sears camera to add to my arsenal. This one uses the Pentax K-mount lenses, while my other Sears camera uses the M42 screw mount.

I think this one cost $3 at a resale shop, but it came with a lens cap and a leather case. I put some new batteries in it, it fired up and I got a couple pictures taken with it before it powered back down for some reason. Maybe my batteries were old and didn't last long, or maybe something happened internally. I'm not sure at this point.

The back of my Sears KSX Super 35mm SLR. I need to get it fixed because the shutter is locked and it won't wind. I wonder who fixes these kinds of cameras these days?

The power meter on the side of my house. Taken with a camera of mine that I thought had stopped working permanently. The camera had stopped working, but I put some new batteries in it and it started working again. And then the winding lever jammed up. I rapped it on the counter a few light blows and that freed it up.

Images and legends of Bigfoot are all over my area. Here is an outline of him on the front of this semi truck.
