I had that issue with a *ist-Ds, the answer was Radio Shack Tuner
Cleaner/Lube. Take out the batteries, spray it in the gap around the
wheel. Let it sit for about half a hour for the volatiles to evaporate.
Wipe of any visible residue. Put the batteries in and test. Repair
would be much more than the cost of a replacement camera, unless it's
under warranty. The K-r doesn't have any weather sealing so it should work.

I've been using Nicole's K-r as a backup body this weekend. On one
hand, I've been impressed with how well it does and what a huge
improvement over the K-x it is. Unfortunately it seems to have a
flakey control/thumb wheel. Sometimes it works OK, sometimes it will
not read a click, sometimes it will only feed signals for going one
way, no matter which way you turn the wheel. I guess we'll discuss
the issue with KEH when we get back.

I was discussing packing, camera gear etc. with my friend Nicole who
will be driving in the SCCA runoffs next week. I joked that if she
replaced her D90 with a Pentax body, then we could share lenses, with
less to pack, and I'd be able to keep a second lens mounted when
photographing her track sessions.
In order to convince ourselves that this really was not a feasible
idea, we looked up the price for K-3 at KEH (about $80 less than new
on Amazon). However, they also had a red K-r for $168.
She has a thing for red, it arrives tomorrow.
I do still have my stormtrooper K-x, but the shutter button has been
rather fussy for a while.
Yes, I know a woman software engineer, who races cars and makes
impulse purchases of camera gear, maybe unicorns also exist.
