This is pretty cool. My dad was a Polaroid salesman in the 70’s, so I still have 2 of these and the 1 with the sonar autofocus. Have some of the sales material and his travel case for doing demos.
Loved my old Polaroid in the 80’s too, even when the company was already a shadow of its former self.
It’s sad. They really bet the farm on Polavision[1] and completely ignored video forcing that original vision of instant moving pictures forward. Beta and VHS w/ audio and working on a TV just made the product look dumb.
I used to have one of the projectors but it died to attic heat.
Then I could rant about how their sales practices killed them as well, but that’s likely full of hearsay bias.
