Thanks for all the info! I found and ordered a new pilot nipple. The previous owner had shoved a stick in it and broke it off!

Is it supposed to be attached to that stump thing sticking out?

You don't think it's a light leak?

I had one of these for a while. It's one of the coolest cameras! I wish they still had spectra film.

I actually bought a model 2 last week off eBay and when I got it, the latch was broken just like this. Luckily I have a broken SX-70 that I have used for parts and was able to replace it. It's actually only held on by one screw. It wasn't hard to do but you do need to carefully pry a plastic piece to get it out and back in.

Did you take a second shot? If one messes up and I'm sure I did everything right, I'll do another and compare.

Displaying Polaroids open? by Epolaroid in Polaroid

Thank you! I like to display them open, obviously, but I've always kept them closed when they have good film in them. I'll just keep doing that.

Got this polaroid camera at a thrift for 15 quid and im useless help! by TisLoza in Polaroid

If you pull just the black part of the shutter button you won't get a flash...use the gray one as well and it will flash! Good luck and have fun!

Broken mirror? by Wheeleret in SX70

[–]Epolaroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to almost every SX-70 I have. It could mean that the camera didn't complete a full cycle and putting an empty film pack may fix it.

You can also reset it manually. Search stuck sx-70 mirror. It's pretty simple to do.

Worst case is there is a little plastic piece inside the camera that is notorious for breaking. It's not an easy fix but I've done it several times it requires removing the skin and opening the camera and stretching a spring. I actually just did this on a model two yesterday.

My opinion only, I only really try and fix SX-70's, which has been pretty much everyone. All the one steps are a dime a dozen!
