Can anyone tell me what cameras will accept the same lenses as a Pentax MG?  My MG is broken but my Panagor 35-100 zoom lens is still in great shape.

Basically any Pentax, Ricoh, Cosina, Chinon, Petri, made from 1975.
Just look for the so-called Pentax-K bajonet mount.
BTW. What is wrong with your MG?

Here is what I know.
1. Something loose in view finder.  
2. Rewind handle missing.  Cannot open case.
 
Otherwise I think it is functioning ok.  Been many years since I used it.

The loose viewfinder is a known problem. If you loook carefully you might discover that the plastic frame is broken. I have fixed mine with som glue:

Found this really good article on Wikipedia about K mount body cameras.
