It uses one LR44, 1.5V, easy to find. Both my manual focus Minoltas use the same so I've always got batteries around.

There is no switch on the K1000, if you forget to cap the lens the meter will kill the battery.

Well made camera. Thats a heck of a deal and good work on your part. That body looks pretty cherry. No wear marks.
Good coated optics on that lens. Is that a screw mount lens?

Somewhere I’ve still got an old Canon Ftb (not an FtbN) in my storage. 1.4 50mm Canon lens. Last I checked, about 5-7 yrs ago it was still working. I took the battery out before I stored it so I’m not sure about the metering. But the shutter, mirror lock-up, depth of field lever and timer were all O.K. Built like a bank vault. Black body model.
