Polaroid Pack Film Camera

Samuel Labone , Sep 05, 2010; 08:26 a.m.

Hi, i'm thinking of buying a collapsable polaroid pack film camera. I've heard that the batteries for them can be hard to find and expensive. While researching this type of camera i noticed that there is a modification that can allow it to run on AAA batteries. Does anyone know how to do this. A link to instructions would be great.

Thanks.

Its taking me longer to suggest you to try using Google, in the future, to find a link than it took using Google to find you links. Twelve seconds. Coincidentally, one of these mentions that Google is your friend.

The main problem I've had with pack film cameras is cleaning the corrosion out of them or fixing the bellows. The batteries are easy and I've heard that radioshack stocks one that will match the voltage and shape of the old battery.
