Overhauling and repairing the SX-70 Model 2

My name is Jake - and I have been repairing Polaroid cameras for clients professionally as The Instant Camera Guy for over a decade. Need a Polaroid repaired? Feel free to contact me! Links below.

In todays episode I overhaul a black SX-70 Model 2.

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

Released as a cost-reduced variant of the standard SX-70, the Model 2 is basically the exact same camera, but with ABS plastic body panels and synthetic leather instead of genuine leather.

It is just as capable as its chrome brothers and sisters, and can often be purchased cheap due to the leather always crumbling away over time.

In this video, I emphasize the need to properly refurbish these cameras, not merely just re-skin them, as mechanical issues are deeper than just the superficial appearance!
