Polaroid SLR 680/690 Camera Repair

Current turnaround times is four weeks from the date of delivery to our location.

Whether your camera seems to be acting just a bit “off” or it’s gotten so bad you think a potato would take better photos than your brick of a camera, we are here to help you out.

We work on a flat-fee system because we believe in doing the same process to every single camera. The fix that makes a functioning camera work better — and a broken camera work at all — could be the same thing. We know where to look for issues and what to do when we find them. If there’s something wrong, we will find it and make it better. All of these repairs are covered by the flat fee.

Beyond the heavy repairs, our services include recalibrating the shutter (which means your camera should shoot true to the lighten/darken dial), cleaning optical components, fresnels, viewing lenses, mirrors, etc. Our team carefully cleans the external components and replaces the leather skins. (They must be removed to access internals.) All cameras are film tested and won't be returned until they are producing excellent exposures. All cameras receive between two and four hours of hands-on time from our team.

All necessary repair work is performed by a trained technician using specially designated tools and equipment. Replacement parts, if used in the course of repair, are fully refurbished and guaranteed. Because of their refurbished nature, previous wear may be present on any replacement components.

Please note: Due to limited stock, our baseline repairs do not include replacing cracked flash housings.

Each camera we service comes with a 90-day warranty.

This repair service covers Polaroid SLR 680 and 690 cameras.

Notes on Leathers

While we’d love to save the original leather skins, it just isn’t possible. The fasteners allowing the camera to be taken apart and serviced are located underneath. Since there is no way to peel the skins up without ruining them, they must be replaced with your choice of either black or tan genuine leather skins. They are fresh, new and Italian. What more could you want?
