1972 Hermes 3000 Typewriter Director Pica Font! Excellent Condition! Blue Body!

Description: 1972 Hermes 3000 Portable Typewriter. Blue body. Director Pica typeface - 10 CPI. Excellent condition. Type slugs are imprinted with “S DP”. Includes original Hermes 3000 instruction booklet. Includes two cleaning brushes (not original). The platen rubber is in good condition. It is in Excellent working condition and very good/excellent cosmetic condition (see photos)! Only some very minor blemishes (see photos). The case is in very good condition, all latches all work as they should. Case/typewriter foot strips have hardened so I have included a typing mat. I replaced the typewriter chassis-base rubber grommets for each hold down screw. Typewriter has been meticulously cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. It is super clean, and I would guess that everything operates as smooth as it did when it was born. New purple ribbon installed (if you prefer I can install a black or red/black ribbon). All operations have been tested and are in excellent order. Like the other Hermes I have listed, this is an amazing, excellent operating, and beautiful typing machine ready to display and use for many years to come. I have refurbished many typewriters over the years and take great care to bring great typewriters back to ready to use working condition. I carefully pack each typewriter.
