Original Vintage ASAHI PENTAX K1000 Camera Instruction Manual (pictures)
We got a nice K1000 in recently that I listed on our ebay store. As popular as that model still is, I thought it might help some folks out to post the instruction manual.

Fixing Up One of My Favorite Recent Finds-A WW2 Era Navy Peacoat
I was stoked when I found this peacoat at a local Goodwill outlet! I rarely ever pass up a vintage peacoat (as long as it’s a legit US. Navy peacoat and not a knock-off) unless it’s moth-eaten or has damage that I can’t personally fix. This one was just REALLY dusty, had a missing button, a small torn spot in the lining, one small loose lining seam, and one armpit with the lining loose around 1/2 of the seam…. nothing that an hour-ish of hand stitching and a serious lint brush session couldn’t fix 🙂
Thankfully, I had a period-correct button from another damaged WW2 peacoat made by the very same Naval Clothing Factory. Serendipity strikes again!
Last night, I got around to cleaning and stitching the peacoat up while sipping some tasty Hamm’s beer (not a paid advertising, but it should be). It took me a little over an hour start-to-finish. Then, I listed it on ebay this afternoon. See the link if you’re interested: WW2 Peacoat listing on Brother Luke’s Treasures Ebay Store
Also, there is a fantastic peacoat dating/history page on the Fedora Lounge if you want to do any of your own peacoat research. See link: Peacoat Dating on the Fedora Lounge

“Redeemed”- Typewriter Poetry at the Thrift Store
No correction tape was available, so pardon my mistakes. Here’s a larger version of the picture I took when I found the old Remington.
