Saving Polaroid Spectra - How to Use 600/I-Type Film without Permanent Modifications or Reloading

A video on 3 ways to still use your Polaroid Spectra camera with 600 or I-Type film (requires 600 type batteries or external batteries) without reloading since that's a pain in the ass and original Spectra cartridges are discontinued, again. No permanent modifications are done (except for the third way if you decide to internally wire a battery pack) if your camera's film door is compatible (else you would have to cut it like in the PolaStudio video or find another camera). Hopefully Ben from ‪@InAnInstant‬ sees this and showcases a Spectra camera with these mods.
