This wonderful and iconic Hermes Media 3 typewriter was made in Switzerland in 1962 and comes in the standard Hermes pastel green colour with mint green keys ,space bar and carriage knobs .Hermes typewriters were designed and made in Switzerland by Paillard before production moved to France and then to Brazil . They have a good reputation as wonderfully engineered and made machines , as you would expect from the Swiss .This one is in full working order , has a slightly larger "Pica" sized font giving you 10 letters to the inch . The Media 3 is basically the same as the Hermes 3000 with the same styling and design but just doesn't have a Tabulator function, Touch Regulator and paper rests.
We have given it a clean ,professional service, adjusted and tested it and fitted a new ribbon so its all ready for you to start typing on .
It is in a good general condition but does have some marks and signs of paint touchup at some stage mainly low down on the corners and on the lower section of the ribbon cover ( see images ) . It also has some marks and small dents to the metal aluminium casing on the underneath.
It comes with a copy of the original instruction booklet showing all its features and giving tips such as changing the ribbon and setting the margins . The body of the typewriter measures 32 cm by 33 cm by 14 cm high .
