I've been thinking about acquiring an original Polaroid SX-70 instant camera. I love the design of it, the way it folds flat and the nostalgia of the format.

Anyone have first-hand tips on what to look for (at least visually) when shopping for a vintage SX-70?

@Luke Can plus one that recommendation. They fixed up my trusty SX-70 good as new. @splorp @paulrickards
