I had to do that to my Spotmatic SL. The Prism had a black bar forming in the prism blocking the view. Easy enough. K1000 is definitely a little more work but it sure makes the camera feel like new.
Thanks for the Tutorial. I am changing the Prism on a £5 MIC K1000 I picked up in a sale - waiting for a shot Canon T50 to strip for prism. Very helpful. Best wishes.
I had to take this prism from a donor camera that was broken beyond repair. That's sometimes how this goes, no parts available so we gotta take from other bodies.

Not all prism are the same size so they aren't all interchangeable
Do you fix other peoples cameras. We have a Pentax K1000 with the same problem. We are a high school photography program based in Hawaii.
Yeah! Send me a message through my linktree in my youtube profile bio. I'll reply through email
hey! thank you for the video, mine is bleeding and I would like to replace the prism but I can't seem to find it anywhere, where did you buy yours?
