Any way to actually use a Polaroid Land Camera Model 80

[jonahr]

hey,
i picked up a Polaroid Land Camera Model 80 highlander at a flea market. The film it was originally intended to use is impossible to find anywhere. Would there be a way to use some 120? Any other suggestions welcome.

Not quite the exact same camera, but if the original film is similar, then this might be a good start:

This one also looks similar, and a bit better executed, IMO:

If you get it working, post some pics; I wouldn't mind giving this a shot some day.

The Model 80 used the old Polaroid roll film, long out of production.

Short of performing major surgery on the camera, it's pretty much a display
piece only.

A good reference for Polaroid is called The Land List located here.
