Hermes 3000 portable typewriter REFURBISHED  case Swiss made in MINT- condition with the highly desirable DELUXE carrying case. 

Super 1963 Hermes 3000, CURSIVE typeface, NEAR MINT condition.  Full refurbishment, NEW PLATEN ($125 at my cost), NEW silk black & red ribbon ($14.95 value), NEW feet ($40 at my cost) new insulation grommets between case and typewriter frame & copy of operators manual. Includes a rare Hermes ribbon spool & a cleaning kit that came with these machines when they were new. 

I am a factory-trained technician with more than five decades of experience. All my machines include the teardown and reassembly of each machine which is meticulously cleaned, with full lubrication and reassembled to manufacturer specifications. 

You can expect prices to continue to rise for the foreseeable future on professionally refurbished machines because of the scarcity of local, factory-trained typewriter repairmen and the machines themselves. Logically, professionally refurbished typewriters will be the better investment long term.
