I have a patient that broke her Optyl 1017 frame. Some people just get really attached to a certain style and I told her I would try to search one out for her. If I remember I think an Optyl 1328 is the same shape but a different temple or endpiece. The size is a 52 eye and the color is a brown I think called cider. I am sure any color would be fine. Please, any help would be great.
Oh wow. I sold my last 1017 in 1978. I still have a box of tart arnels. We can super heat them in the salt pan and they should stretch to fit juuuuuust fine
Terri Brogan had a copy of the 1017 but I haven't seen one of them since high school
One of my favorite old frames. Would fit anyone. Good luck!
If I had a nickel for every 1017 I sold, I would be writing this from my villa overlooking the French Riviera!
That's why my employees dont make a penny over $.04 per frame, at $.05 cents they'll all retire to hawaii and I'll have to do all the work.Quote:

What a bunch of old farts we have here. Terri Brogan? Arnel? What a history lesson. Which way to the catacombs?
If you can't find one, maybe you could 'update' her to a Deeda.Quote:

Thanks for all your help fellow optiboarders......I am glad I did not mention her husband wears a Corsair.....LOL:)
How many times has the hinges been soldered back on?
I've got a couple of those!Quote:

However, I'm a little attached to it for sentimental reasons. Is this woman willing to make it worth my wild to give it up? :)
greetings Dave,
i just ran across (a year later) your post about your tart frames. do you still have that box?
regards, Phil (aka, ogEE)

Holy cow. I can remember fitting this frame...and thinking, "I hope they never discontinue this one."
It just needed one longer size temple to be really great. The 125s and 130s sometimes were too short. But that would fit anybody's nose.
Short temples....how nostalgic. I get tired of tying them in a knot behind their head.Quote:
