Vintage Hermes 3000 typewriter

I found this little beauty at a large junk type store and paid about $5 for it. Love the design and the obvious quality that went into making it.

You're supposed to used your left hand on the carriage return.

Ennek a típusnak a szögletesebb variációját az IGV gyártotta a magyar irodáknak még a kommunista időkben

I can type about 85-90 wpm on a computer, but on a manual typewriter I bet that would be cut by half. At least until I got used to it. I've also been spoiled by the ability on a computer to easily backspace and correct and mistake.

Yes. Very cheap too.

Can you still buy ribbons for those?

[jmorton528]

The lever on the front left might be the direction control of which way the ribbon turns. PS- spray some oil on the ribbon. It should work like new. PPS- I have 2 Hermes typewriters.
