Description:
Another eBay find. Got a really good deal on this machine, and when it arrived I was surprised to find that it was in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and only needed a light cleaning.. Even came with an original Hermes cover as this machine has no case. Installed a new platen since it was such a fantastic typer with legendary light Hermes touch. 12.7cpi Elite -EDIT- After 5 years, pleased to say this H3K is still holding up wonderfully. Have had to replace the ribbon a couple times and clean the typeslugs once, but thats hardly any maintenance after the reams of paper I've put through it.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 3000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 3000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
