They All Want To Fuck The Cause posted : 07/03/09 at 10:42pm pst listening to:Broken Social Scene

Everyone should probably read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".  I have not yet finished it, but what I have read is absolutely amazing.  Check it out!  

 

I now own a Polaroid Land Camera J-66!  I'm mostly disappointed that I won't be able to find a battery for this little beauty.

It smells of nostalgia.  

I'm always looking for cameras to add to my collection. . . hint hint.  

 

My weekend is going to be spent at the new tattoo studio with my family to get as much done as possible so we can open Friday.   Hopefully everyone remembers to breathe. . . and that we love each other, so everyone makes it through this last week alive.   

 

I hope everyone has a lot of fun this weekend "blowing shit up".

I take it you're looking for a replacement selenium cell for the auto-exposure system?  That sounds like it will be really hard to find.  :(

 Uhm according to the camera is needs a "Mallory Mn-1500" battery.  When I use Google search it says the Mallory Mn-1500 is a  "alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide cell".  

 

And I'm agreeing with you.  I doubt I will find a battery.

Interesting...I've been reading about it and things I've found said "selenium".  Huh.  Well the info on the camera is the bet guide.  I'll poke around and see if I find anything.

This seller claims the camera has been tested and is fully functional.

 But I already have the camera!  

 

I don't think this came with the right owner's manual.  Which is okay.  It will look nice on a shelf full of books.  :  )

Yes, but if I can find you one that actually WORKS, wouldn't you rather actually be able to take pictures with it?  You put that one on your shelf, and let me worry about whether I can find you a functioning one.  :)

I don't know if this site will help you get your Polaroid camera working but give it a go.
