1942 Hermes Baby Serial # 254674 1942 Hermes Baby typewriter, Serial # 254674 Barna Horváth's 1942 Hermes Baby typewriter. 2020-09-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Barna Horváth: 1942 Hermes Baby Serial # 254674 Well... I really want it, but now... I don't know, let's start from the start. So i have an underwood 5 but incomplete and i found an ad with pictures. This machine is incomplete too but it will help with the restoration so i drove two hours for it. We met at a petrol station and then a stranger called out. Some minutes later he brought this little one. I was terribly happy, but i recommended ~8 $ for it with poker face (i search this type for a long time) . That's how it came to me. A few days later i started to cleaning. NEVER disassemble the carriage if not necessary... It's terrible for me :) I learned a lot from this machine. Some weeks later i found another one. It is in wonderful condition, but ~20 years younger

whit this method is quite easy to solve! problem: The former springs are working very hard and in addition you need to assemble the left and the right side and even the rail.
