they first came on the market as "Minimus-7" a quarter century ago,

I have collected 6 of the Minimus 7's, use DSP-40's in front of two of them.
I also have one of the smaller Optimus (also cast aluminum cabinet) that I
use with a scanner. I purchased two of the 7's new, the rest came from
garage and estate sales for nickels and dimes. RM~
