Nikon SLR Cameras

Will a polaroid sx-70 work after 20+ years in storage?

I left it exactly on December 26, 1972 and ever since I've never touched it (because I got another camera, the Nikon Ftn) After googling some stuff about the SX-70, I found out that the shutter blades could stick which was also a problem with my FTN, I had to get it repaired. Will it work? Will the blades be not stuck? Do you think it has a pretty high chance to work again?

As long as the camera was stored in a place that is temperature controlled, like your house. If it was stored in a garage or storage unit that is not temperature controlled it may not work.

It could, depending upon how well it was stored and protected from moisture over the years.
