Meet the Swinger
I picked this beauty of a camera up at Value Village a month or so ago and am sad to finally confirm the fact that it is completely useless.
This version of the Polaroid Land Camera, called the Swinger Model 20, was produced between 1965 and 1970. It sold bazillions, in part due to it's cheap sales price of $19.95,as well as its youth centered advertising campaign (as evidenced by this vintage tv ad).
The interesting thing about the Swinger model was that it took Type 20 film, which was the first roll film to develop outside the camera. Unfortunately this type of film was discontinued decades ago, making this camera completely useless. The story of my life.
p.s. I've read mention that the Swinger can be modified to take other types of film. If anyone can find me more info on how to do this, I will be forever grateful.

Wow. You got a camera called the Swinger and you did not take the chance to dish out one slight innuendo. The apocalypse is nigh.
The way things are going, the only swinging I'll be doing is from the rafters.
Was that what you meant?
It's such a shame when such beautiful things turn out to be useless. Also, that commercial could make me buy just about anything.
Thank you!
