At the prices all these camera go for today, I STRONGLY suggest you buy a professional model SLR, on e-bay you can find any of the Olympus, Minolta or Pentax professional models for almost the exact same price, and often times cheaper than the entry level SLR's like the K1000.
Like I said before, I think the Olympus OM series are some of the best 35mm SLRs you can get, the Pentax K models are the same big boys as all the other SLRs of the time, heres a photo of my OM-1md with my Minolta SRT-101 (another phenominal camera IMO). you can tell the size difference big time, the Pentax K models are the size of the Minolta. The K model (the KM does offer self timer and DOF preveiw as stated above) also offer no self timer, no DOF preveiw, no motor drive option, and no interchangeable focusing screen. All of which can be found on the OM-1, which also has a larger than normal veiwfinder veiw ;).
Anyways, there are tons of great SLRs from that time period, I obviously am very fond of what Olympus accomplished with the OM series of cameras.
My main STRONG suggestion is to buy a pro-level SLR of the time which will cost you the same amount (sometimes cheaper) of money, ebay baby! and be prepared to dump money into it if nessecary, re-sealing, cleaning, circutry (most of all these cameras are fully manual, but you need a battery for the light meter, most of which were Mercury based, you can plop a newer lithium(?) cell in, but its not going to give you a reliable voltage feed unless you have the circuit modified. So, be prepared to dump some cash into it if nessecary (it isn't always, and will vary from body to body).
