Autofocus Red and Gold Polaroid 660 - cleaned, tested and updated with custom colors

This camera creates either Color or Black-and-White prints depending on the film cartridge you use. Next to the camera is a photo I just took using New Color Impossible Project film.

Updated coloring includes a Red face and Gold accents around the lens and viewfinder matching the original autofocus sonar gold circle.

The Polaroid 660 is the higher end 'Pro' version of the 600 line. These cameras have sonar auto focus (like the famous folding SX70 Sonar camera) and a flash built in. A light pressure on the shutter button charges the flash. A red indicator in the view finder stays lit while the flash charges, turning off when the camera is ready. The battery for the flash and all the workings of the camera is contained inside of the film cartridge so there is no worries about leaking batteries.

On the front of the camera is a slider to adjust for when the background of your subject is over bright/dark.

The shutter button has a second button that allows a photo to be taken without the flash. Also, unique to the 660 is a button under the flash to turn off the auto focus. A handy feature when you want to take a picture through a window. You wouldn't want the flash reflecting or the auto focus taking a picture of the glass.

I have cleaned the rollers, lenses, viewfinder, shutter buttons/springs, photo print feed, and flash - all working nicely. Also, check and replaced internal components as needed.

The Polaroid 660 uses the 600 film cartridges. New film is being made by The Impossible Project (they have all kinds of fun options) in both Color and Black-and-White prints.

The factory neck strap and view finder eye piece are both in great shape. The camera also has a tripod screw mount hole in the bottom for those special still shots.
