This is a common problem and is caused by the second curtain not having enough momentum to reset the mirror latch. The shutter spindles will require cleaning and oiling. As a temporary fix you may be able to clean the shutter spindles if they are accessable under the bottom cover. To do it properly you will have to take off the front panel and perhaps the mirror box too. Quite a job. Tomosy's Book 1 covers the Spotmatic which is very similar to the K1000.
