Started collecting in March 2025. Have had quite a few machines so far, main theme of my collection is owning all cubic typefaces each on different machines. And then just other interesting finds I enjoy.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Optima Elite on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Optima Serial Number page and the Optima Elite By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
