I am also sad to hear this. I have moved to MFT system, but only in Sept traded in my K1 and several other pentax related items and got what i felt a good trade in valuation that enabled me to purchase a not cheap Olympus lens for not a lot of money!
Like others posting here, always had good service from them .

SRS have my K1 (Mk 1) for sale at around 48,000. I have moved away from Pentax now. It was a bit of a wrench - great camera! FYI it underwent repair last year; the two control dials had ceased to function and it needed new top plate assembly.
Well that's 40x more expensive than OPs...!!!
Its vintage init - worth every penny! - Seriously 48000 shutter count.

Very enjoyable indeed! Lighting in the 2nd and 3rd shot hits the spot for me. And I like the last one in B & W

I like these - especially the first one.

Thanks for the links.
I have thought about tackling this myself following the Mode dial repair threads, but not sure if the problem is the same as its a different couple of dials.
I had rung Alan Marlow who has helped a lot of folk out and he said it is a job for official Pentax Repair as it involves changing a PCB
So - have tried contacting John Pye to get an idea of cost - but as stated in OP, no response from them!

Nothing happens when you turn the adjustment dial, no matter what is set on the function dial (eg ISO/ Bracket/ Exposure Compensation) etc
