The cd player was really well packaged and I appreciated that they included batteries. I’ve listened to a couple cds on it so far and it sounds great! It’s super cute and everything works the way it should.

Best compulsive buy yet. It really just is a unique device you can add to your home. The color is vibrantly yellow and its so compact that it fits practically anywhere. I've tried many vinyls and the sound is fabulous. Worth it! :] I almost forgot to remove the screw before using it the second time and almost broke it. Oop.

Really nicely made. My Polaroid 600 and an extra pack of film fit perfectly inside. Took this with me on a camping trip and it held up great! Cushy and sturdy, but doesn't take up a ton of room in a trunk and is lightweight enough to carry along with other items. Got so many compliments from fellow Peanuts fans, too. :)

Took a chance on these as replacements for my fiancée’s Sanyo M-G41 headphones (Retrospekt has a compatibility list but her device wasn’t on there), turns out they’re a perfect fit! In my opinion, the orange looks even better than the model’s original black look. But they have the black ones if you prefer that OG look. Anyway, highly recommend Retrospekt. Cheers!

It’s amazing and super cute! It’s aesthetically pleasing and the stitching came out pretty good! Only gripe with it is that I kinda expected it to be a bit bigger than what it seemed in the photos, but as long as my Polaroid now Gen 2 camera then I’m all for it! Amazing product!

AMAZING SERVICE! Retro cameras and electronics are a passion of mine, and as an "80s kid" I was naturally drawn to Retrospekt. I have a Polaroid 600 Impulse autofocus, which has been capturing local memories for a LONG time, and when the camera started to show signs of needing work, I took advantage of Retrospekt's repair services. I cannot say enough good things. I don't write a lot of reviews, and part of me is afraid this review will be seen as less than genuine, because it is so positi...

I was looking for a new cassette player (I use the term Walkman for everything 😁) because my older Walkmans are going to need repairs soon. I think I want to sell them while they still work (I also have the original boxes). So I did a lot of research and got the Retrospekt player for the price. There are a lot of people out there that disparage new Walkmans on YouTube but this one comes with earphones, another reason why I purchased. The earphones are awesome in my opinion and end I up buying a ...

Loving this! I originally got it because the player in my car wasn't working. Having a portable player is perfect! I love listening to cassettes on the go and the quality of this one is really good. No issues and very happy!

I love my Sony Walkman from Retrospekt! After trying out a “modern” player and being disappointed (it broke in various ways after just a few months), I wanted to try a refurbished one. And I’m a happy they! It only has minor scratches and plays like a dream. Buttons are snappy and sound is awesome. Thank you, Retrospekt!

Great experience using this new cassette player. It is compact and easy to use. There's plenty of functionality as well: Bluetooth/analog hookup and recording mechanism. Perfect for that nostalgia kick!

Thomas P.
Above and beyond, and amazing customer service. The camera feels like new again. I was heartbroken for years when the flash housing broke and my sonar broke being stuck at infinity, and almost put away my polaroids for good. Now I’m more excited about polaroids than ever before. The only thing I regret is not knowing about retrospekt sooner.

Love love love! It's such a cute little bag. I've used it as my work purse since I didn't get it for the camera function, but more because I love snoopy and the size of the bag. Definitely would recommend to get and add to your bag list.

I've loved sending my film in for Retrospekt to develop. I was nervous because it was my first 2 ever rolls. The time it takes to develop and be returned is a little long at 3 weeks, but the wait is worth it. The pricing is wonderful as well, as you get a discount for multiple rolls. Also, the customer service is on point. I had an issue with my USB and was able to email someone and have it replaced. Will definitely be reusing them in the future!

I bought this camera ages ago, but the rollers were worn and the leather was deteriorated. It arrived looking brand new, and of course it works again. Couldn’t be more pleased.

This SX-70 sonar bar is colourful, well made, stylish, and light weight. It holds the folding camera very well, external pocket can hold one film pack or the Mint flash. The clips are metal on the strap. Love it!

After reading the numerous amount of positive reviews, I knew I had to send my Impulse AF in. Even though I had an idea of what to expect I was still blown away. I wrote a note with my camera to explain my concerns and they reached out to make sure they addressed everything. Once it came back it felt like I got a brand new camera. If you’re even a little unsure about doing this, I cannot recommend this enough! You won’t be disappointed.

I love this camera! It is so cute and im incredibly impressed by this company. I love that they refurbish them, that's amazing! I think its really neat, I love how you can tell some of the parts are aged also, the flash cover is yellowed and I think it adds so much personality and makes me think of what kind of life this camera had before! I love knowing things had history to them! Thank you Retrospekt for saving these awesome items and giving them new lives!

A beauty Recieved my SX-70 (converted to 600) the day before christmas (after it being through the swedish customs for a day or two). Opening the very nice package, I was really surprised and amazed by the camera’s exceptionell good look and its perfect condition. Can’t believe it’s from 1977 (according to a search on the serial number). The camera is a gem, worth much more to me than the dollars (SEK) paid for the camera and for the extra fees regulated by EU. It’s one of the coolest things I e...

Beautiful work! My SX-70 was in pretty bad shape before sending it off. A few weeks later and this camera is now shiny with fresh well-placed leather and with a healthy sounding motor! I just wish I didn't get my greasy fingerprints all over it before taking a picture. I look forward to sending the rest of my cameras in to get restored by Retrospekt in the future!

Was a very simple install, with the toughest part being the peeling of the leather off the camera body (It puts up a fight) The included tools were very handy and are of great quality, and the included instructions on how to install the pack and how to insert i-type film was very welcome. Inspecting the circuitry on the inside, I found the pack to be preloaded with batteries which is a welcome plus. The solder joints at all connections were shiny and had a solid connection. I had worries that...

I’ve had a first generation SX-70 sitting in storage for over a decade - tried a few years ago to get it working again and had no luck. I found Retrospekt and decided to give them a try. Every step of the process was so simple. When the camera arrived back, only a few weeks after sending to them, it was so beautifully packaged. They clearly take such deep care of everyone’s equipment. Camera basically operates like new now. Next step for me is to get better film - the film I have on hand is at l...

You did a beautiful job refurbishing my SX-70. It was like getting a brand new camera. The box it was returned in made the experience that much better. I was very surprised by how fast turn around time was. The estimate was two and a half to three weeks but it was back to me much quicker than the estimate. The photo I enclosed was taken using some old B&W film. I wasn’t even sure if the film was any good but it turned out nice. I’m still getting used to manual focus and light setting again after...

I’m kind of astounded… I was testing out Retrospekt against some other Polaroid restoration services, and made some really specific/not straight away offered requests that aren’t offered on the standard menu. I had gotten a really grimey, crappy early production Polaroid SLR680 from KEH in “Bargain” grade. It stunk like the sandy ashtray outside a cowboy bar after a hot summer rain. Cracked & gouged leather, a chipped flash/sonar housing, and here’s the extra mile bit… I don’t care for the first...

I am beyond pleased with the purchase. My son likes taking photos and has wanted a camera for some time. I figured something more unique like this would suit him more than a fancy new camera. If it weren’t for the website saying it was refurbished, I would never be able to tell it wasn’t brand new. Everything works as it should, and I recommend it 100%

If you’re thinking of getting this book, just get it. It’s gorgeous. The paper feels hand made. The information about woodblock printing is fascinating. The binding is wonderful. Hiroshige’s art is lovely. It’s worth twice what you’re gonna pay. Just get it.

She's beautiful! Such an awesome piece of tech and added a lot of personality to my room. There's something so comforting about having a nostalgic TV like this, reminding me of simpler times! Fits great in my small space and works like a charm. I also love the aspect of having something unique and more sustainable instead of having bought a brand new tv. :D

The new shutter button arrived pretty quickly, and using the online instructions I was able to swap it out without too much difficulty. Without the directions I don’t know if I would’ve had the confidence to tackle this on my own. The button fit perfectly and my SX 70 is working and focusing as it should.

Sorry, my review will be in French. Je suis plus que ravie de mon achat. L’appareil est en parfait état. On dirait qu’il est neuf. Les photos sont superbes (bien mieux que le 640 que j’ai récupéré chez mes parents) ... Je vais en profiter au maximum avant de lui commander un frère ... forcément chez Retrospekt ! Pour info : livraison en 7 jours ouvrés et 45 euros de frais de douane. Mais ça vaut vraiment le coup !

Retrospekt was something I discovered trying to find a shop or anything to fix my Polaroid 600 Film. It was my sisters when she was growing up and I was super devastated that I found it but didn’t work! I sent it in to Retrospekt and they made it look brand new and fixed the problem! You guys are life savers and are awesome! So happy I found Retrospekt because I couldn’t find any shop that would be able to fix the camera. Thank You!
