I once had a used K1000 that had in inaccurate meter. When I brought it in for
service, I was told that later K1000s built in China sometimes had welds that
were too cold. The welds could break, messing up an electrical contact or
making it intermittent. I never knew what to make of this explana
Where could I get that done and how much would it set
me back?

Sounds like a CLA may be inorder, as you sa
Other two bodies are LX and A3000.
It may just be contacts in the shutter speed dial. I
worked it back and forth a few times and it seems to
have gotten close to what the other two bodies are
reading.
Where does one find this "grey card"? What is it,
how's it used?
Thanks. :)

Frank has a good point. You might get around this a bit if you check the
metering with an evenly-lit sky, for example - something for which
center-weight

Well, you can:
A) Be sure you're using the proper battery for the camera;

Just dug out my K1000 the other day and thought I'd
shoot a roll. Was looking it over when I discovered
it's metering differently than my other two bodies.
Looking at a given light source, at f/8
The Meter in the K 1000 can be knocked out of adjustment, all it needs
is a competent tech to
re-calibrate it, I think it's a matter of adjusting just two screws
(pots). I had it done once for my
Spotmatic (Can't remember if it was a SP1000 or SPII), and it worked
