The current turnaround time is approximately two weeks from the date of delivery to our location.
We give your Polaroid SX-70 plastic camera a full functionality check and CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust) to ensure optimal performance. In addition to servicing the internal components of your camera, our team carefully polishes and cleans the outside of your camera to make it look as new as possible. Every camera is film tested to confirm proper ejection and exposure. If there is something wrong with your camera (flash, ejection, exposure, etc.), we will find it and fix it! If you have specific concerns, please include them in the checkout notes, or write us a note when you send in the camera.
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.
Each camera we service comes with a 90-day warranty.
Which models does this service cover?
This repair service covers all non-folding, plastic SX-70 camera models. The images shown here are just a few of the common SX-70 plastic camera types.
Repairs ship free, both ways, in the U.S.
Within two business days of placing your service order, we will email you a prepaid shipping label you can use to mail us your camera. Prepaid labels will only be emailed to customers with a US address listed on their order. Shipping labels must be used within 28 days. Failure to use the label within 28 days may result in Retrospekt canceling and refunding the order less the cost of the shipping label. The prepaid labels expire after 28 days and are non-refundable.
After finding my OneStep for a good price, I knew it was a camera I wanted to get working. Retrospekt was my go-to for getting the work done, and the service was fantastic and so thorough! My test shots so far have turned out wonderfully, big thank you to the tech/techs who worked on it!
We sent Retrospekt a Polaroid OneStep Land Camera with original components that was unused for several years. We replaced the old film cartridge and our camera ejected the discard film but failed to take a photo with the shutter button. The camera came back to us cleaned and functional with a comprehensive report of components that were cleaned, repaired, and/or replaced. Our second favorite part of the repair was the box that our camera was repackaged in and some surprise vinyl stickers. We will return to Retrospekt should we need a repair service again!
Quick, affordable and amazing service. My Polaroid stopped working unexpectedly and they fixed it! It’s so much nicer to use my original one than to have to buy a new one.
Absolutely obsessed with the repairs of my two SX-70s. They look brand new and work like a dream! So thankful for this repair service to restore my cameras back to life 🥰 also the packaging they came in was such a special treat—makes it feel like I bought a brand new camera!
What an incredible company! Personal service and impeccable workmanship! I received my camera back and it looks brand new. I highly recommend!! I can’t wait to start my new hobby of Polaroid photography :)
I have a bad habit of buying old polaroids but Retrospekt is always there to restore them to working order. I trust them to always turn them around quickly and without fuss. Customer service is great and there's no dead zones in communication. I hope someday they start repairing the really old pack film cameras too.
I found an SX70 at an estate sale one day and figured I would buy it since it was priced at $20. I knew nothing about using a polaroid and when I got home my Googling led me to Retrospekt.com where I saw the opportunity to have my new camera cleaned and tuned up. I sent my camera off to have it serviced and when it was returned to me I had my film ready to load and I was eager to start capturing images. Thank you for resetting my camera to its original glory and for helping me start off my new hobby on a good foot!
I love Retrospekt! I don't have the words for how happy they made me. We found my dad's #sx70 #polariod #camera. Last year. I have been using it on and off. A few months ago it #stoppedworking. Made a #squealingsound when trying to load the film. A search revealed it will need #repair. I found retrospekt_ . It was so east. One #flatfee includes #shipping and #repair. We I got it back it was like getting a #newcamera. Comes in a new box, and user guide and was so clean. Get a #listofservices. It works #likeadream. They kept the #maskingtape on the bottom where my dad put his #name. I'm getting ready to send off my #600sun #polariod camera. It works but after seeing their work want a #tuneup to keep it working.

i’d tried tinkering with my mother’s vintage SX-70 to no success, fortunately Retrospekt was up for the task. no joke, they took the camera and fully restored it with care and attention to detail, and now it works flawlessly. even the unboxing experience of my own camera was handled witn great finesse. easily worth every penny.
I hunted around for someone to repair my vintage polaroid and Retrospekt were more than I hoped for! Super easy communication with customer service, they were prompt in responding to my emails and questions, let me know what to expect and followed through. When I received my camera back I was blown away by the restorative work and the way they packaged everything for shipping! Truly the best!!
Amazing service! Retrospekt basically replaced every part on my camera and it works like a charm! Amazing value for the price and I love the fun packaging it comes back in, feels like new
I honestly could not be more impressed with Retrospekt's work. They paid for shipping both ways and fixed AND cleaned my ancient Polaroid OneStep from Goodwill. The service was quick, and they mailed it right back in some really fun, branded packaging with plenty of protection for the camera during shipping. They also included instructions on how to use the camera (extra mile wow!) and included a few stickers.
The camera works like a dream and is so fun to use. If you're looking for repairs, seriously don't hesitate to send it to them. I can't believe how cheap it was for everything I got. 11/10 great experience!
Found a used plastic SX-70 camera at a thrift store that didn’t end up working and sent it in to have Retrospekt give it the once over. And boy did they! This thing looks great! Freshened it up and replaced all of the wore out components. This thing is a lot more fun than I expected and super easy to shoot with. Thanks Retrospekt!
Where do begin to explain how pleased I am with Retrospekt? Their repair service is exceptional, knowing that the team performing the repairs is so thorough and passionate lets me know my camera is in good hands. Shooting pictures knowing my camera is in tip top shape is so much more fun. Thanks Retrospekt team!
Such amazing service! Was able to get my camera working just like brand new for such a low price! Plus, they packaged it so nicely on the return. Would recommend anyone use their services!
Retrospekt is amazing! They offer a service that is challenging to find locally and the flat-rate is an incredible perk. Knowing that I could mail my grandfather's polaroid camera across the country, have their staff do whatever it would take to fix it up, AND mail it back to me, all for ONLY $65, was just HUGE. I am so excited to put my "new" refurbished camera that has been sitting in a basement somewhere for many years to good use. Thank you, Retrospekt!! :)
Was thrilled to find out that there was a place for me to repair my grandfathers SX-70 Polaroid! Even more ecstatic to have it repaired and sent back in such a reasonable amount of time and fully operational! I look forward to using it now that its fully operational.
Fantastic results and customer service! I always recommend you to others having issues or questions with their Polaroids. Also purchased the gold Polaroid sweatshirt which is phenomenal as well. I feel confident with my purchases.
