Cursive Hermes 3000 Manual Typewriter

Description

Professionally refurbished - cleaned, serviced, and adjusted to factory specs -
If you're looking for a 3000 you can actually use, this is it. It has been cleaned, serviced and adjusted to factory specs. The feed rollers have been cleaned or replaced as necessary and any worn or damaged parts were repaired or replaced. The typewriter body has 100% original color from the factory and the machine has been thoroughly tested and a brand new 2-color black and red cotton ribbon is freshly installed. All this work guarantees you years of trouble-free operation. The machine inside has been lovingly used and cared for as you can see in the pictures. I'd rate it cosmetically an 8 on a 10 scale - not a collector's item but a workhorse that is ready to serve another 50 years of duty. The model 3000 and it's cursive typeface caught on very quickly. This Swiss-made machine was already known for its quality and now it had even more to offer with the hand-written font, it strikes 12 characters to the inch and features a carry case lid with a document flap. It is 100% functional, absolutely clean, and types like a dream with a fresh cotton black & red ink ribbon installed. Proper servicing means that this machine is as close to factory fresh as a 50+-year-old typewriter can get. You can see it in the print and feel it in the touch. What you see is the second body style fitted in the original aluminum carrying case. s/n 3518718
