This is the camera. I got it for 5 bucks! It says on the insurance warranty card that came with it that it is from 1975!
I would actually want to take picture with it if all possible.
Does anyone know any signs to see if it works (I dont have any paper/film or whatever) before I go investing on paper?
Is there paper that I can buy? If yes, where?
What do I need to know about this? This is my first polaroid and I have no clue how it works.
You need 600 Polaroid film for that camera, and it's unfortunately not made anymore. :( You might be able to find some on eBay. You can also google "impossible project film" and find a source for that. They are a group that's working on recreating Polaroid film.
Impossible Project
While Fujifilm still produces some of the older-style, professional 'peel-apart' films, Polaroid's Enschede, Holland film plant was the last manufacturing center for the 'integral' SX-70, 600 and Spectra films. However, in late 2008 several former employees of the Polaroid plant and Florian Kaps (the Austrian entrepreneur behind the effort) undertook the aptly named Impossible Project ( http://www.the-impossible-project.com )
They were able to take a lease on the plant and intercept the 9 integral-film assembly-machines before they were cut up and hauled off for scrap. They are currently working from scratch to create new development chemicals so that they can begin selling new versions of the 125 and 600 ASA films in 2010.
On 22 March 2010, Yahoo News reported that the "Impossible Project" had borne results in the form of "instant film," which was reported by the Associated Press' Technology Writer Peter Svensson.
The Associated Press' article said: "A group of engineers and enthusiasts who leased an old Polaroid film factory in the Netherlands announced Monday that they had successfully reinvented instant film and will start selling packs this week."
The Impossible Project now successfully creates color and black & white instant film for SX-70, 600, and Spectra cameras.
