Does this camera need saving?

June 15th, 2020


Jim is cleaning out about 3 moves worth of boxes that haven't been unpacked in about 10 years. This Polaroid camera must have belonged to his father. Does anyone on the site know anything about this kind of camera? I'm looking for advice about whether it should 'have a future' or be consigned to trash. I've looked it up on eBay for background and know it isn't terribly valuable, but am looking more for whether or not this is worth trying to find a home for it within a camera community (not to sell, just break even on shipping), donate to a school for someone to take apart, or just throw away. If someone is interested, just post a note on my thread. Thanks in advance for any advice!

film shooters collective https://www.filmshooterscollective.com/about would know someone who would use it, unfortunately Lou Sousa doesnt have an account here anymore, but he is a member so i could ask him if he knows anyone who would want it. Also there's a polaroid week twice a year and there are always lots of participants and there is beautiful work done, so definitely don't chuck it, it looks to be in very good condition.

@kali66 Thanks for the leads. I'm definitely feeling that I need to either keep it or find it a good home. No longer even considering trashing it.
