Purchased my first typewriter in 1977 from a second hand shop in Leeds UK,' an Imperial The Good Companion Model T. It has been a wonderful tool since the day I brought it home. If I can remember I only paid £10 for it and it Just required a weekly dusting down and A new ribbon every few months. Unlike a computer the Imperial has never had to wait for a update or install.
My love affair with typewriters began.
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.
