Mint Original Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera With Case: Film Tested & Working Great

Description

Up for auction is my Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera, the iconic leather-covered folding instant camera of the 1970's, which was used famously by Andy Warhol and photographers around the world, and which inspired Steve Jobs.
This auction includes:
(1) My chrome-and-chestnut-brown-leather SX-70, Alpha 1 Model, serial number 0A500529879, produced on or about January 27, 1975. My dad owned an SX-70 and I collect cameras; this is the
cleanest SX-70 I've ever seen.
An SX-70, with more wear and tear, is listed today on Amazon for 9.00.
(2) A vintage distressed/scuffed carrying bag with a velvety lining and room for both camera and spare film cartridges; it's stamped "Top Grain Genuine Cowhide / Made In U.S.A."
(3) A fresh, unexpired, unopened box of SX-70 film (eight prints) from Polaroid, date of production June 2021. It's listed today on Amazon for .95.
(4) An unopened "Flashbar 2" from General Electric, brand new, ten flashes. It's listed today on Amazon for .99.
The listing photos are your best guide to condition.
I've included with my listing pictures two Polaroids made with this camera.
Regarding
testing and operation
of this SX-70:
Yesterday, the day before the start of this auction, I installed a cartridge of SX-70 film, and I closed the loading door on my camera. That process properly ejected the dark slide, and I shot all eight pictures in the cartridge. [Note:
There is no need to shoot all eight pictures at once; you can store the camera for months with a film cartridge in it and use it later just fine.]
I took pictures inside and outside, with and without flash.
All of the pictures developed within minutes as intended. The camera worked perfectly: no jams, no missed flashes, no funny noises. The pictures were all keepers. The focus was crisp. The exposure compensation dial worked. When I finished the test, I removed the empty cartridge and put the camera in the leather bag to ship to the winning bidder.
If you decide to bid, good luck. If you win the auction, I will pack carefully your camera and gear -- everything you need to start shooting -- and ship it to you, via USPS Priority Mail, the day after the auction ends.
