Chuckle at ac's comment. It's been awhile since I commented on this, and think I need more than aspirin now too. Haven't checked what Polaroid is up to in a long time... But seems films making a come-back these days.
Thanks!

Instant gratification, yes, they have that in common. This one was a big model and.. I don't remember it. Not aspirin for me, just my Alzheimer drugs :-)

Thanks Scott...yeah they were quite a revolution in their day (and made like a truck). The predeccessor, in a way, of the instant gratification digitals.

Hi Tom
LOL...yeah I remember a lot of that stuff too...This is one of the earlier models. These bellows Polaroids were almost like works of art...but seems the photos were really small. I remember you had to run that pink roller across the photo to 'fix' it with solution. Seems like I can even remember how it smelled. That "Winklight" used an odball battery too...but worked pretty well.
