Features of the Hermes 3000 typewriter.

Thanks for this great video! My 11 year old son just bought one for $26 because he found that he loves typewriters after trying one at my aunt's. It's wonderful to know these functions that we otherwise may have never known.

Hi Dale, just found you and subscribed. As a former sales and repairman for Hermes typewriters, you are invaluable to the newer community of people like me. You should do some technical repair series videos exclusive for Hermes and set up a paypal tip bucket. I think you could make some money doing what you obviously have a passion for. Hope to see more from you on your channel! Thanks!

Thanks for your good review.

Great video! I actually picked one up at an estate sale for $12 dollars. I was planning on selling it on eBay. But it’s so much fun and my kids love it. How I wish I grew up in a era with these!!!

Thank you!

Thanks for a great video! I learned many things about my Hermes 3000 I did not know, and from now on I'll be able to reset the margins without consulting the manual. It's so helpful seeing how it works!

Wonderful vid! I love my Hermes 3000 (same model), it has a tactility and physicality that laptops like my MacBook Pro just don't possess for writing. A wonderful tool for just unplugging to get that raw, first pass down, unlocking the subconscious.

My mother bought this version in 1963 with the very small typeface, S 7 about 13 cpi. Was wondering how common that was in 1963...she bought it to use for billing purposes for a small business my father ran. She liked the machine a lot and never complained about the small font...it does look a tad to small for my taste.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Nice! I'd love a 13 cpi typewriter! Daniel

Great video! Thx, man.

I have a problem that the tab cancelling buttons ( - and - - -) don't cancel the tabs at all. I have the left and right tabs set ok but not the ones set with the + button.

[@csillamagyar9026]

Unfortunately, my margin marking tape broke and I would like to release the set margin from it. How is it possible? Thanks. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

Are parts easy to get Dale ? And how to fix paint chips ?

[@dalehaddon591]

No parts available as these machines have not been made for over 30 years. I have quite a few parts machines that I can use for parts when needed. If you want to touch up paint chips, take a part of the housing to an auto paint store and have them match it. Hope this helps, left me know if you have any other questions about these wonderful machines. All the best, Dale

Can i please ask why there is no 1 on these?? I got one and thought it was missing the 1 but see they are all missing.. Thanks

[@kristenhillyer6554]

I think they were saving space. You can use the lowercase L. I just got mine tonight and am so excited!

[@kristenhillyer6554]

Thank you for the video! It helped me so much.
