The Elite 3 is the exact same machine as your Super. Just not the other Optima Super which is an Erika 10 rebrand.

Adler J3 Typewriter - YouTube<br /> by [[Joe Van Cleave]]<br /> accessed on 2025-09-27T15:42:43
The rubber gromets/bushings of the Adler J3 are often an issue with their cases when they've aged.
Joe also compares this with the Olympia SM3 and an Optima Super typewriter (poorly designed)
John Lewis is closing his typewriter shop in Arizona soon.
