Ricoh SLR

Some 20 + years ago (1985?)I bought a black Ricoh SLR. At that time it
was new, but discontinued and was the last one on the shelf of the
camera shop. Two weeks later it was stolen. I think I'd like to get it
back! (well get one just like it anyways <g>)
Problem is, I can't remember the model.
In my foggy memory I think it looked like one of the KR .... series
cameras but I'm not sure. I definitely remember that it could operate
without batteries. I also think (maybe?) that it had an auto or semi
auto mode as well as a fully manual exposure mode, (but could be wrong
about that).
Is that enough info?
Can anyone tell me the model of my long lost Ricoh?

There is also the XR-X, which IIRC was the top of the range model, spot
metering and what have you.:-

Google knows all. Is the camera one of these:

only you can pick it out...
The Ricohs take Pentax 'K' mount lenses so there won't be any problem
finding optics that fit.
A glance at ebay says they go for a very reasonable [or sickeningly low,
if one is a die hard film user] price: $25 average/median with a
$10-$100 range.
At those prices you should be able to buy one of each model.

No, but if all else fails, try browsing the manuals here until you see
the right one:

Perhaps an Ebay search might be a better way...
I used to have a KR-10M, black and similar specs but it was a motor
driven model that required batteries. Ricoh made/make some very good,
and underrated imo, cameras. I currently own one of their little 4Mp
compacts for when I'm not wanting to carry anything heavy or expensive.
