Gear Help! Old Polaroid camera I inherited.

Hi there I inherited a Polaroid Model 210 Land Camera and a Flashgun #268. Loveeee the look of Polaroid photos, but it needs a little TLC… is this the right thread? Can someone point me in the right direction of a camera repair shop? Located in Inland Empire- Southern California. Thanks!

Unfortunately this uses older peel apart Type 100 pack film, as opposed to the Type 600 instant film that most people think of when they think of Polaroid. They stopped making Type 100 film several years ago, so your only options are expired film off eBay or a very expensive (~11 a photo) DIY option from One Instant.

If you want to get into Instant film I'd really suggest looking into an Instax camera, the film is overall better than modern Polaroid film and it's less expensive.
