I have a Polaroid Land Camera model 80A.  I'm not sure what the year is, but I would like to get it repaired if possible.  I have film for it already.  Can you please give me a repair shop to send it to?
 
Thank you,

I'm not sure what is wrong with the Polaroid model 80A.  It just does not take the pictures when I press the button.  Thank you everyone for your posts.  I probably will just use it as a display in my house.
