Polaroid 660 AutoFucus Upcycled White and Gold - Cleaned, Tested and Ready for Fun

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 Polaroid Originals film.

On the test photo shown, there is a small light leak along the bottom. That is not the camera, it was caused by me moving a partially used film cartridge from one camera to another.

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. 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. The flash charges when a light pressure is applied to the shutter button. A red light can be seen through the view finder that is red when the flash is charge, turning off when the camera is ready.

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 replaced internal worn components as needed. The White and Gold is a bit of Upcycling I did while I had the camera apart for cleaning.

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

The factory adjustable 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.
