I thought the Super XL’s were the last fling of Optonics in their original guise and they came out in early-mid 90s?

Bought my Super Compacts which were the top of the range of the un-converted Optonics in 87 and between them and the Super XL’s they produced the Magnatronic.


I stand to be corrected but I am sure XL’s were a fair bit later than 87?


Looking on Ebay my guess would be £10-£15 each.
