Description:
This Hermes 3000 was my white whale. I searched for years for a boxy Hermes 3000 with Elite font.
Ordered a new platen rubber from JJ Short and mounted it myself.

Update 2025-07-28: I have written around 95'000 words for my latest novel on this (still about 100'000 - 130'000 to go) which comes down to about half a million characters.

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.
