Yep. As best I can tell, the one I'm looking at is a Sears KS-1, which
is apparently a clone of a Ricoh XR6.

Subject: Potential enablement: Sears camera w/ R-K mount lenses
So, I've spotted an ad on a local bulletin board in which someone is
selling a Sears SLR with four lenses (a prime and three zooms -- though
I'm not sure of the range) for $50.
From what I gather, Sears K-mount lenses generally have an extra pin
that sometimes causes them to get stuck when mounted on Pentax bodies.
I've seen some instructions for removing that pin, and wonder if anyone
can offer advice before I decide to tackle the chore.
Also, are Ricoh K-mount lenses fairly decent glass? Are they generally
worth the trouble?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
