Polaroid 320 - Focus broken?

[stonydeluxe]

Hey guys,

I'm completely new to the Polaroid Land Cameras, just received a 320 from ebay today.

When I'm focussing it only the top arms are moving, while the bottom arms stay rigid. So the front part tilts - is this correct? As I can't imagine that, is there a way to fix this?

Cheers,

Arne

That camera is broken, and these used to go for $10 and less at the thrift stores.
The bottom rail is spring loaded, might check for a simple fix. Not cost-effective to pay for a repair.

If you have to replace, here is a spot with plenty of them for sale (by auction):

The OP is in Germany. Shipping can be expensive as these are larger cameras.

Maybe he has a friend in the USA. But unlikely, he will be traveling to Alema👍na soon.

Thank you for your answers. I managed to get my hands on a 190 last weekend, so I guess I try to fix the 320 myself when I have some spare time.
