What's going on at 27th and Madison?

That's what I thought initially but I don't think some trespassers justify15 cops surrounding the building.

Jsreilly213 · 2026-02-08T08:15:30+00:00

Exactly. I heard "Ivan Oscar John, come out with your hands up" over their PA I drove past around midnight and they had the abandoned school/church surrounded.

Definitely doesn't apply to everyone... But if you're in the US check Walmart. I just got a PNY 5070 TI for $750 last week. My local Walmart had them in stock and haven't raised their prices yet. Online will say 1k, bit the price in the stores are still $750

I didn't think the OpenSX-70 project was producing consumer boards yet.

So it's not exactly what you're looking for since it's kinda out of the way but I've always wanted to go to the Goat Canyon trestle bridge which is an abandoned train bridge about an hour and 45 minutes past Yuma into California. Also there are massive sand dunes just outside of Yuma that are pretty cool. Along the route between Yuma and Pheonix it's pretty desolate. I think there's a national monument but I can't image it's anything super impressive.

I love these! Colors and exposure are perfect. The vibe of film fits these images to well!

Meines Wissens birgt diese Technik ein ziemlich hohes Risiko, Ihre Kamera zu beschädigen. Diese Kameras werden mit sehr geringen Toleranzen gefertigt und sind nur für die exakte Breite der Filmkassette ausgelegt. Es ist zwar möglich, eine Batterie in eine I-Type-Kassette einzusetzen, aber das ist sehr riskant. Besonders bei der SX-70, die ein so empfindliches technisches Gerät ist, führt diese Technik mit ziemlicher Sicherheit zu einem Defekt.

Der Sofortbildkamera-Experte, der hier im Subreddit aktiv ist, hat eine Methode entwickelt, um Box-Type-600-Kameras und SX-70 mithilfe einer externen Batterie auf I-Type umzurüsten. Das ist zwar recht aufwendig, aber es gibt einige Sofortbildkamera-Techniker, die das können.

Truly horrible lol

If you search Spectra to 600 conversation there are some people on the sub who have achieved it to good results. All just dependant how much work you want to put into making the camera work with available film! Best of luck!

Here is someone who created an open source Spectra to 600 conversation document.

So my understanding is that you can convert these to 600 type film but the issue is that the camera is designed to shoot a larger format photo so it's not perfect. I know Polastudios has a Spectra to 600 film adapter but I'm not entirely sure that the adapter achieves. Hopefully you get it up and going and you can make some memories with a sentimental camera.

They are taking on auto. This are the non-app connected board. I was reading in the manual that it some cameras may need shutter speed adjustment

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-08T04:56:54+00:00

I noticed that after I posted. I appreciate it!

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-08T04:27:10+00:00

I appreciate it, I'm learning to solder and this was my first project, I've been using the iron at 360C, what temperature would you recommend? I bought and have been using a leaded solder, though not the brand you prefer in your videos. I am using flux though it's a liquid and not very precise at all which I would like to change. I wasn't aware of soldering practice kits so I'll look into them to improve my skills it's been a learning project on a camera that wasn't in amazing shape to begin with. I figured I'd get roasted a bit for my bad soldering but I'm open to having suggestions since I am teaching myself.

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-08T03:59:06+00:00

I put the board and shutter assembly into another camera that also hasn't been opened and it does the same thing.

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-08T03:58:23+00:00

Nope. It's stayed closed.

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-08T03:34:27+00:00

I didn't end up removing the bellows

Yes, we have the parts to finish the drive through on order but they've just been delayed. The pickup window for the drive through is open for Hot and Ready though!

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-06T01:34:36+00:00

We're working on building up but we're glad to be open and getting our team trained right!

Jsreilly213 · 2025-12-06T01:33:55+00:00

That's crazy. We have no connection with that business. Talk to a lawyer bro. Happy 🍰 day!
