Getting artifacts in the video? For best quality, manually select 1080p quality, as depending on your bandwidth, YouTube may default to 720p - and YouTube's 720p compression looks like garbage

In todays episode I spend time tearing down this final-generation SX-70 Model 1. Released just before the Alpha, this camera featured numerous unique (and annoying) parts, including; a PCB that accepts two kinds of flash fire assemblies, a crimped lens cell and square head L/D wheel screws!

I spend some time discussing what to look out for when purchasing an SX-70, and discuss that cosmetics is not necessarily everything!

In my opinion, there is no point spending a premium trying to find a mint condition SX-70 when they all require overhauling anyway. There is simply no SX-70 on earth that DOESNT require a service by now, and they will all need a similar amount of work done to them, regardless of condition!
