I just spent an hour troubleshooting an old Polaroid 640 I found at a flea market. Everything was in working order except the flash, which would not finish charging -- and this model won't open the shutter to take the photo without a charged flash.
I eventually found a bunch of reddit posts saying "My thrifted 640 wasn't charging the flash so I smacked it real hard and then it worked" so I figured sure, why not.
And it worked! This is why I love old technology. Modern phonecams could never.
