Can someone help me fixing polaroid SX 70?

Question

can anybody help me fixing polaroid sx 70? there seems to be something wrong with either the shutter or motor. well i know its old and hard to fix it but does ANYbody know how to fix it ?

the problem is that when i put the film pack in nothing happens no motor sound nor whirling sound and cannot take pic using the red button. And when i press the door latch manually , it spits out an empty film. THAnk YOU

Answer 1

The reason its not working is that you're probably using the wrong film.  The film for the SX 70 also called SX 70 film hasnt been made for quite some time.  The newer film cartridges will fit in sometimes with a little modification.  But just the fact that it fits doesnt mean it will work.
