SLR680 Auto focus optosensor repair - Broken pick-off - Polaroid SLR680 Overhaul Part 2

Got an SLR680 that needs some love? I have been repairing Polaroid cameras for clients professionally as The Instant Camera Guy for over a decade. Get in contact with me! Links below! In the seventh episode of The Instant Camera Guy, I continue the SLR680 repairs started in the previous video. Part 1 is here:    • Polaroid SLR680 Overhaul & Repair - Fixing...   Like what I do? Feel free to buy me a beer (or two!): https://ko-fi.com/theinstantcameraguy Getting artifacts in the video? For best quality, manually select 1080p quality, as depending on your bandwidth, YouTube may default to 720p - and YouTube's 720p compression looks like garbage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video tackles what I'd consider one of the most difficult repairs when it comes to SLR Polaroid cameras - fixing a broken 'pick-off assembly' in the auto-focus mechanism. This issue causes the lens to always focus to roughly 4.5 feet (1.5m). Comprised of a U-shaped plastic housing that contains an infrared emitter and receiver, the 'pick-off assembly' facilitates the use of a rotary encoder to tell the camera how far to turn its lens for accurate focus. Effectively it counts little slots in a toothed gear as it spins during the motorized movement of the lens cell. Polaroid sadly seemed to use LEDs of a fairly poor quality, with many living only short lives before burning out, rendering the auto-focus inoperable. If your auto-focus is still working after 40 odd years, then odds are it will keep working for years to come. If its dead? Then odds are it died long ago! I must emphasize the difficulty in performing such a repair without experience. There is high risk of breaking components unless you have good experience taking these shutter assemblies apart. Even after years of doing these repairs I still find this job very tricky! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   / instantcameraguy     / theinstantcameraguy   https://www.theinstantcameraguy.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got a Polaroid that needs some love?
