Description:
It didn't work at the thrift store so I gambled with a $2 donation and took it home, mainly because I had no other Optima. It works OK now and can only get better. Got it with bottom part of fabric case only.
This incarnation of Optima was made by Erika and rebranded Optima for the US market.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Optima Super on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Optima Serial Number page and the Optima Super By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
