This camera arrived pretty much new... It looks pristine and I'm thoroughly happy with it! Thank you to the team who have brought this beauty to life. Here's a photo I shot on the first roll with this camera, using Portra 800.

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!

I just wanted to say thank you you so much for your company and what you do. I was so upset my Polaroid wasnt working after I found it in the attick of our old house! I tried to fix it, wasted countless film, and eventually gave up. I was researching online when I came across Retrospekt. You all were so helpful and quick with shipping and updates. When my newly refurbished Polaroid came in the mail, it made my entire day, I was so excited! The packaging and stickers and everything was fanominal....

This service is worth the money! The amazing people at Retrospekt know how to fix these cameras and they did an amazing job on making my camera feel brand new. The best part about the service in my opinion is that they re-calibrate the light-meter to work with the new Polaroid SX-70 film without exposure compensation.

Works amazing, literally one of my favorite albums of all time. Packaged really nicely, all three of the cassettes I ordered arrived safe and sound. Definitely buying from them again :)

Absolutely amazing! Fantastic customer service, and loved how fast the repair went. I'm currently using my Polaroid SX-70 for a graduate photography assignment that is loosely based on Andy Warhol's polaroid series. It works beautifully and the packaging that Retrosepkt designed is absolutely gorgeous, as I am a graphic designer myself. 20/10 would recommend!

I adore this camera. Everything about it is in pristine condition. I bought a similar camera from eBay and that one is no good. Retrospekt takes care in restoring their products and making sure they work. Thank you so much for such a beautiful restored camera to shoot peel apart film on.

My Gameboy was heavily damaged after 25 years of neglect. I found Retrospekt online and emailed them. They got backed to me right away and explained the process. My item was fixed and sent back to me very quickly. It works perfect now! Such a great value especially with the free shipping.

This is the most amazing camera. Love the art, love the creative idea of having each camera unique with the sticker sheets. Had a lot of fun decorating and it takes great photos. Worth the $, and Retrospekt is legit one of my favorite companies now. So intentional with their work. Thanks team!

I like to use them before I sleep as they oddly work the best at night lol. I love them for their look and their feeling. They are a good gift for anyone interested in the retro look! 10/10 would recommend.

I wanted my 1986 Sony Walkman WM-F18 (original owner) in working condition once again so I did a Google search and came across the Retrospekt website and boy, Am I glad I did! After sending an email explaining what was wrong I heard from a fellow named Kyle and he informed me of the price level, And if I wanted to proceed that I would get a pre-printed, Postage paid shipping label to send it along. The price was reasonable so I sent it and after three days I got an email confirming that Retrosp...

What an awesome opportunity to have my childhood camera refurbished and returned to working order. I'm so happy that I've been able to use it again and will be able to for many years to come. Thank you.

Derrick B.
What an amazing camera! The close-up lens is a tad bit finicky but it still works. Always feels like I'm about to break it. It feels a bit cheap but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to a lot of these vintage Polaroid cameras. But I love the white look, it really stands out in a sea of black and grey cameras.

Just about matches the original! I only had to replace the big square because the plastic coupler broke and was going to replace it all but it matches the original leather close enough that I can live with it. I'm very satisfied with this product.

Brad H.
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.

Kayarash K.
It is a very cool-looking flip clock. It nails that retro yet futuristic look. Like something out of a Fallout game. I'm just not sure why I paid $100 for a clock...it looked cool enough I guess! If you wanna blow some money, this is where to do it.

Melina S.
I originally had a pair of Koss porta-pros and when they broke I decided to buy these instead! I love how the ear pads are smaller and don’t constantly rub against my earrings to make them sore. While I still experience my hair getting caught in them I love the way they look, sound and how they are thicker and smaller than the porta-pro pads. I’ve only had them for 2 days and have received many compliments :)

Love this bag! Has great feel and stitching, and fits everything I need for a short polaroid outing. The bag is also large enough to fit a Sonar with the Polastudio power back without issue.

I work for a movie prop rental warehouse and we needed to replace some ear pads for the headphones we rent. They have been a hit since we got them. People are always asking for more colors. We will definitely be getting more in the future.

Erin H.
This is the coolest clock ever!! I wanted to add some retro vibes to my ultra-modern office and this flip clock is such a playful & fun departure from the digital screens that permeate our lives. It's larger than I was expecting (in a good way) and feels sturdy and solid in-hand. The off-white color is SO luxe and looks super sophisticated against a white wall. I was worried the flip sound would be loud and bug my coworkers but it barely makes a light flutter noise. Setup was super easy and the ...

James T.
For a "Dented Cover," I think this album still looks spectacular! I don't usually go for the "lo-fi" or "...And Chill" vinyl releases, but being the Metroid nerd that I am, I couldn't pass this one up. Beautiful cover art, beautiful blue vinyl, and it even sounds nice, to boot. What's not to like?? Currently on display at the end of the record shelf, where I usually shuffle out different albums to let a variety of covers show through. But I think I'll be leaving this one on the end for a wh...

Excellent conversion of my Polaroid SX70 Model 3 to Model B. I’m very happy with the conversion, new black leather, blue shutter button, and use of 600 film. Communication was great.

This is a very easy conversion. Actually, having the ability to shoot i film in an SX-70 is convenient and versatile, which increases your creativity. But, you knew there was a but, the original charm of the SX-70 was in it's design, and now.....

Brendan Y.
This is by far the best modern cassette player. For people new to cassettes this is the best all around device. There is decent(compared to vintage players and cheap modern players) quality for playback. For someone like me who is young and did not know the era of vintage walkmans and cassette decks, this player is a great option. As for the recording quality, and compared to vintage recorders, it is not good. But, it is not as bad as many youtube videos and stuff say it is, and I would say it i...

My SX-70 stopped ejecting film this year. Retrospekt gave me some trouble shooting tips first but they didn’t work so I sent it in for repair. Their communication about the process was excellent and I got my camera back in less than 3 weeks! Included was a checklist of all the things checked, adjusted, or replaced. I really appreciated that. My camera looks and works like new!

Exceeded my expectations, I have several other Polaroid cameras but this is my first time buying from Retrospekt and I’m very happy with the Impulse AF. The best thing is I can sleep easy knowing that it has been given a tune up by their skilled technicians. I will definitely be a return customer!

Amazing camera. I really love how well it works and how easy it is to use. My only issue is that I'm bad at getting proper lighting with my shots but it's still really fun to see my photos improve each time. I can't speak to the color photos but with black and white they look really cool.

Joseph M.
I'm honestly blown away by the whole process. I bought my SX-70 at a flea market not knowing if it worked or not. I initially bought the SX-70 to 600 conversion, but after testing the camera, I discovered that the camera wasn't functional. I reached out to the customer service team asking if I could also include the restoration service. They had a solution in place so I pay the same price as the restoration and conversion process, rather than each service separately. Retrospekt covers shipping b...

Rhoel E.
This 2-LP live album sounds excellent and the music performance and vocals by Alan Vega captured the energy and virtuosity of the group. Cannot ask for a better quality of live recording than this. The album cover is much too simple though, not even having a single picture of the band. Anyway, the music is all that matters, right? I highly recommend Cubist Blues to fans of Alan Vega and Alex Chilton or anyone who just loves plain good music.

Ordered the cassette version of the Barbie Movie soundtrack. Came packaged beautifully. It was inside a small box which was inside another package (honestly can't remember if it was a bag or box), so there was no chance of damage during shipping. The cassette itself is Barbie pink, and came with a cardboard sleeve, and the booklet folds out and has a few photos from the movie, and the songs and credits. Does not contain lyrics which is fine because I'm too old to be able to read that small pr...

Got this for my girlfriend, who last had one in the late 90s/early ‘00s. I didn’t realize that I was, in fact, purchasing a baby. Oh. Em. Gee. I’m doing everything I can to avoid babysitting. Mostly because I’m too old, but additionally because I can barely see the screen.

This is probably the happiest I've been with an online purchase in years. It plays fantastic, it arrived with the quickness, the headphones are a hard throwback to my childhood. I'm stupidly happy. I will be ordering a tape player next chance I get.

My girlfriend gave me her Sony Walkman WM-4 from 1983. It was in great shape cosmetically, but unfortunately it didn’t play tapes properly (It played them way too slow). I was already planning on buying a refurbished Walkman from Retrospekt, but since she gave me hers I had them refurbish this one instead. The guys I dealt with were great; fast and clear communication and extremely helpful getting my Walkman fixed. I use it every day and it works like new! I highly recommend Retrospekt
