Overhauling Andrew's SX-70 Sonar - SX-70R conversion, new panels & failed hinge repair

My name is Jake and I overhaul and repair instant cameras! Want your camera upgraded like you see here? Then message me through the links below!

In this episode, I modify and upgrade my client Andrew's rather sad SX-70 Sonar. The byproduct of no less than 3 repairs so far, my aim is to hopefully be the last person to have to touch this camera for quite a while!

Like what I do? Find this video helpful or entertaining?

Getting artifacts in the video? For best quality, manually select 1080p quality, as depending on your bandwidth, YouTube may default to 720p - and YouTube's 720p compression looks like garbage

Topics covered:
attempted repair of the rear hinge
giving up and swapping the panel entirely
SX-70R PCB installation
