            To replace the shutter pieces in the camera, first make sure they are in the proper order. 
- 
                     
            The shutter piece at the bottom of the first picture belongs on the bottom. 
- 
                     
            The shutter piece in the middle of the first picture goes in the middle (second picture). 
- 
                     
            The shutter piece at the top of the first picture goes on top (third picture). 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            By looking at the first picture, line up the long, skinny slots on the three shutter pieces. 
- 
                     
            In the second picture, notice the pin inside the circle. 
- 
                     
            Line up the slots in the shutters with the pin inside the camera as shown in the third picture. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            Put black plastic piece back into camera, making sure to slide tab into slot (rectangle) and onto the pin (circle). 
- 
                     
            Final assembly for this step should look like the third picture.

   - 
                     
            First, you must align the tab (circled) with the slot (rectangle). 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            Align teal and orange circled tabs from the first picture with the respective teal and orange holes in the shutter pieces. 
- 
                     
            After the shutter mechanism is placed into the camera, make sure all three shutter pieces are attached correctly. 
- 
                     
            To finish putting the Polaroid back together, follow steps 9 through 1 in reverse.

I'm pretty sure every type 600 polaroid camera is built the same so this should work with other 600 cameras. I followed this guide for my polaroid 640 land camera and it was exactly the same.
