I have been fortunate enough to have be given a couple of boxes of Polaroid 879, so I excitedly approached the equipment loans technician at my university to borrow a holder and processor.
Unfortunately the very knowledgable technician admitted that to his knowledge nobody had ever taken it out before and that he was unable to instruct me in its use.
I managed to find the pdf manual for the processor unit on the Polaroid website but I have been unable to find a manual for the holder. I think it is a 81-05 as it is not the one shown in the online pdf, and hinges opens in landscape not portrait. Also there is no loading tray but I read somewhere that this holder does not need it? How does one load the holder with negative and the seperate positive sheet successfully into the processor?
Many thanks for your help.
Richard
Edit:
I should add I searched the forum and celebrated too early when I came across a thread in which Gustavo Castilla http://gcastilla.com/ said he had received the manual form Polaroid and uploaded it but the link on his site is dead.
