If you haven’t noticed yet, we’re madly in love with vintage chemical photo booths!
AKA: analog or dip and dunk photo booths. Photomatica is committed to ensuring vintage photo booths survive, as they are becoming more and more rare. We buy them and restore the booths to their original pristine condition, so they can continue to deliver those beautifully imperfect photos for years to come.
Our goal is to make the SF Bay Area a destination where folks can use analog photo booths in public spaces - booths from all generations, from the 1930’s to the aughts.
Dreaming of owning a piece of American history? While we don’t have any vintage photo booths for sale right now, keep an eye on this page to stay in the loop for future availability!
What Models Of Photo Booths Do You Sell?
We restore booths to their original condition with the original machinery, transmission and all. Almost all of the vintage photo booths we restore are Auto-Photo model booths from the 1940s to the 1980s. We are working on an Auto-Photo Model 9, an Auto-Photo Model 11, and some Auto-Photo Model 14s.
I Have An Old Photo Booth. Do You Want To Buy It?
That’s cool! We will definitely consider any photo booth for sale, but our focus is on purchasing and restoring the vintage chemical photo booths. We’ll bring your old photo booth back to life for the public to enjoy again - at a fair price, and we’ll arrange the shipment. Contact us and we’ll take a look.
Where do you operate?
For our analog booth operation, we operate vintage booths in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York City. If you really want a booth and have a banging spot outside those areas, let’s chat. We don’t provide analog photo booth rentals.
