    Just thought I would share with you all my latest Optimus 1200 doesn't look too bad and it all hold pressure well.

    I told myself over the weekend that I have got to stop buying these lamps because the garage is running out of space and so is my bank.

    So I bought this 1966 Beetle instead hush.gif

    There should be room for a few lamps in the beetle. That's the problem solved for a while.

    Nice 1200 btw.

    Nils is right. Put the lamps in the beetle. They fit 40 college students in a beetle once. And half of them were not female.

    Late 70s or 80s. A lot of the paperwork from Optimus isn't dated around this time, so it's hard to be sure.
