MR> Perhaps if you can live with manual diaphragm it might be more affordable to get
MR> it converted to screw mount and use a K-M42 adapter,

When you are at it having it converted to M42, with manual diaphragm,
it's no problem and no additional bucks converting it to K in the
process. The machinists just drills TWO holes, screws on the adapter K
really tight, secures it with a worm screw, and the other drilled hole
is the K bayonet locking pin hole. That way, if you ever want to use
it on M42 camera, you just loosen the worm and unscrew the adapter
(using wooden sticks! That's the right tool to remove stuck adapters,
NOT metal!)
