I received a newsletter from The Impossible Project today, announcing the OPEN HOUSE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE FACTORY (in The Netherlands, Europe).
I went to an open house about two months ago and is was very interesting/cool to see how it all works. This is the original Polaroid Factory that The Impossible Project continued. You'll feel back in time, being a part of the Polaroid history, standing between the very large machines from the 1970's. The tour guides speak English, German and Dutch as well. They are all employees of the old and new company.
And part of the tour is visiting the guy who works there for 40 years now fixing all kind of Polaroid cameras (he knows them all by hart). I brought mine and he CLA'd it for free during the tour - even added a frog tongue. Later he showed me his tattoo. Guess what it was ....
It was a great day so highly recommended. They also had some nice sales on film as well.
This is the text of the announcement:
