Polaroid SLR 680/690 Smokey Clear Flash Housing Conversion Service

The current turnaround time is approximately three weeks from the date of delivery to our location.

This service is for changing the flash housing on your SLR 680 or 690 to be clear plastic. The new parts installed are the only injection molded option on the market (not 3D printed) and are exact replicas of the original parts from the 1980s. This service does not include any functional repairs or servicing. If your camera is currently not working properly and requires calibration, parts replacements or functional servicing, please see our combined repair and conversion service. 

Each camera we service comes with a 90-day warranty on the work done to it. Please note this repair service only covers the installation of the new flash housing. The warranty covers this feature only and will not cover any other functionality issues with your camera.

Which models does this service cover?

This service is only offered on SLR 680 and SLR 690 cameras. We do not offer clear housings available for SX-70 sonars.

Notes on Leathers

This service does not require your leather skins to be removed. Your camera will be returned in the original condition it was sent to us, sans the flash housing replacement.
