I have a Hermes media 3 (similar to this one) but I have a problem with the mechanic: it seems that all the hammers are collapse. I suspect that some kind of spring or lever is not doing his job. But I can't find where, what [and whyyyyy :-( ].<br />Thanks<br />PaolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-63187056905585456372011-04-29T00:08:13.868+02:002011-04-29T00:08:13.868+02:00I have a Hermes 3000 (shipped to me) whose carriag...I have a Hermes 3000 (shipped to me) whose carriage is STUCK. I have freed the release key, but still jammed. I unscrewed the bottom, took apart the back so I could poke around. Like you, I feel this close to dropping it just b/c nothing seems to disengage it. I was so excited to get typing on it, alas, I will continue to pray for some luck I guess...but it is depressing.

When I first got an Oliver, I really hated it, but slowly, it grew on me and now I kinda like the look of it.deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-24586016818409081352011-01-31T02:26:20.477+01:002011-01-31T02:26:20.477+01:00So glad to hear it was repairable!

Speaking of beauty: last week I had the very same feeling on my Hermes 3000 (same model, except is has techno typeface): first not very attracted to it, it felt just perfect when writing. Your photos highlight that it really is a classy shape, too.<br />I now put several Hermes 3000 manuals online - interesting to compare.shordzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824301365798484902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-45001737170865986052011-01-30T05:23:02.967+01:002011-01-30T05:23:02.967+01:00Congratulations to you and your mysterious technic...Congratulations to you and your mysterious technician.

I love it when a fix can be achieved quite simply - as opposed to tearing everything apart and hoping to find the problem, and then reassembling etc etc.rino breebaarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732964644950027323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-85234304467682645012011-01-29T23:10:31.694+01:002011-01-29T23:10:31.694+01:00love it! that typeface is right up there with tec...love it! that typeface is right up there with techno!notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-36986136801812162342011-01-29T22:02:25.174+01:002011-01-29T22:02:25.174+01:00Gorgeous machine, wonderful typeface!
