Polaroid SX-70 Folding Camera Repair

We give your Polaroid SX-70 folding camera a full functionality check and CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust), and make any necessary adjustments to increase the longevity of your camera. Part of this includes 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 2 and 4 hours of hands-on time from our team.

Each camera we service comes with a 90 day warranty.

Which models does this service cover?

This repair service covers all folding SX-70 camera models. The images shown here are just a few of the common SX-70 folding camera types.

*This excludes the SLR 680 which has its own repair service.

Convert your SX-70 to shoot 600 film.

Tired of keeping a supply of different film types to use between your 600 and SX-70 cameras? We can service your SX-70 and convert it to use 600 film.

Repairs ship free, both ways, within the US.

Once you've placed your repair order we will email (within 2 business days) a prepaid shipping label you can use to mail us your camera. Once we have received your camera, we will complete all repairs and have it back in the mail, within 7 business days.

50 year old sx-70 came back looking shiny and new...and works again. thank you.

Great service, my camera came back in great shape and working properly again.

The camera was repaired on time exactly as promised on the website. The camera works perfectly. I realize your company is only involved with the camera, but the film is pathetic. The images are dull blurred fuzzy etc. This film is not even close to the film I was using 45 years ago when I bought this camera. Because of the poor color quality, I will probably never use the camera. A+ on the camera repair, F minus on the film.

My daughter asked to get her camera refurbished for Christmas. She gave me the address to mail it too. I was amazed to see the finished product in its own magnetic closing box! Like brand new!

They are professional and I had kind communication with them. I have sent my Gold Polaroid SX-70 to them and I can not ask for anything more. I well recommended them to all my camera friends.

I don't know where to begin, other than to say that I am more than pleased with my entire Retrospekt experience--from packaging, shipping and then to finally shooting the camera (when I sent in my SX-70 it wouldn't work at all.) Minor details like Retrospket's packaging--blew me away! The "keepsake" box with the magnetic closure was a class act and then the added touch of placing an original vintage instruction manual in the packaging and the checklist that included a list of every detail of the cleaning and refurbishment process...the attention to every detail made this an experience I will not forget. So next thing--to test the camera. I decided to take the most unforgiving shot I could...an indoor, low light, flash picture! I even left the exposure dial right in the middle. The picture turned out great. From a camera that did not work when I sent it in, to this beauty with all new leather covers, polished to a luster finish... it was like someone turned the clock back almost 50 years on this little engineering marvel. Retrospekt is a true rarity in our world. Top of the line customer service and pride in the artistry of refurbishing all things analog! I could go on and on but the bottom line is from every email I sent and call I made with questions before I decided to entrust my camera to Retrospekt's care to the final product--5 Stars all the way! You will not be disappointed in your decision to have Retrospekt refurbish your treasured SX-70! Attachments area

I reached out to Polaroid because I desperately wanted to try out this camera I found in a collection of old items of a family member. Polaroid suggested that I reach out to Retrospekt, and I am so glad that I did. Their work was quick, clean, and comprehensive. I'm so happy to have the camera back in hand and working like it was meant to!

I would HIGHLY recommend retrospekt. These guys really know how to run their business. I sent in my SX-70 to get repaired, I was so lost without my camera and it had been a month that it wasn’t working. I was recommended to them by a polaroid originals, I felt uneasy at first sending my camera off to someone I never heard of or knew about. But I chanced it and thought it’s already broken what is there to loose? I Had an art show coming up in three weeks so I was a little anxious I wouldn’t revive it in time. But I revived it within a week! I was so happy I put my trust into them and money because it’s so worth it. My camera works amazing now and not to mention it looks so beautiful! They are so friendly and very knowledgeable about anything they repair. I would give them 10 star rating on they’re communication as well. Seriously, these guys are the best please support their business and what they’re doing. You guys are old electronic life savers! Thank you.

Loved the service provided!!

The entire process and end result exceeded my expectations. My late father-in-law's SX-70 Alpha had languished for 30 years. The leather was peeling off, and one of the metal corners was cracked. The old film inside had enough battery to eject a photo, but it was clear that something inside was also amiss. For a flat fee, including shipping in both directions, I got a camera with new tan leather indistinguishable from original, a replacement piece for the part that was cracked, and a dozen more parts replaced to make the camera function as if it were new. Retrospekt also included some vintage accessory bits, just because.

Everything I needed to keep it runnin

My sx-70 came back working and looking like new. Also came back in the time frame that Retrospekt said it would. I am going to send my other sx-70 very soon to be gone over. Thanks Retrospekt

Tyler H.

Very happy with the results, my SX-70 looks brand new and shoots better than ever. Very responsive staff and a quick turnaround. Would recommend to anyone!

I bought an SX-70 off of EBay and it was in horrible shape. I sent it over to Retrospekt explaining a few issues and they were more than happy to repair the camera. They fixed everything they could find wrong in the camera and now it works perfectly. They even sent back a test image and I got the camera back within two weeks.

Olivia C.

Everyone here is so helpful and got my camera back to working condition in just a week!
