1966 Hermes 3000 Typewriter Cursive Font! G/Excellent Condition New Platen!

Description: Note : updated listing. Typewriter now has original Hermes 3000 platen knobs, new foot pads, and a better ribbon cover/lid. 1966 Hermes 3000 Portable Typewriter. Cursive Script typeface - 12 CPI. Type slugs are imprinted with “S S”. Includes original Hermes 3000 instruction booklet, 2 cleaning brushes. The platen rubber is new (JJ Short Co.) New rubber foot pads installed. It is in Excellent working condition and good cosmetic condition (see photos)! Only some minor blemishes (see photos). The case is in good condition, all latches all work as they should. There are two modifications made to this machine (other than the new platen rubber):1. The original platen knobs were in pieces so I replaced them with original Hermes 3000 gen 1 knobs.2. The red margin indicator ribbon and spring were missing from this machine so a green background strip (plastic) was installed across the indicator/paper bail bar behind the margin measuring strip - purely as a cosmetic feature. The margin setting operation still works great - you just don’t have the visual of the margin sets. Typewriter has been meticulously cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. It is super clean, and I would guess that everything operates as smooth as it did when it was born. New black ribbon installed. All operations (with the exception of the margin indicator ribbon) are in excellent working condition. Like the other Hermes I have listed, this is an amazing, excellent operating, and beautiful typing machine ready to display and use for many years to come. I have refurbished many typewriters over the years and take great care to bring great typewriters back to ready to use working condition. I carefully pack each typewriter.
