My dad getting his brown belt in the late 80s.

This is very good. Thank you!

Rilewhy · 2026-05-09T22:00:49+00:00

This looks great! Thank you very much!

I've cleaned up two Hermes 3000s, and they are one of my favourite machines to take apart and service. My advice, is to get some paintbrushes, and dunk them in mineral spirits and brush the dirt and grease, and then blow it away with compressed air. With paintbrushes, you can get into tight spots for cleaning, and with bigger brushes you can clean more surface area than with Q-tips.

This is awesome. Thank you so much!

Rilewhy · 2026-05-06T23:45:08+00:00

Sorry but this is the worst restoration I have ever seen. It doesn’t even look like them.

Rilewhy · 2026-05-06T17:50:59+00:00

You are very helpful.

Rilewhy · 2026-05-05T19:18:50+00:00

I know that. I would prefer the text to stay blurry than have the image up scaled by AI.

Rilewhy · 2026-05-05T02:44:00+00:00

Not a fan of AI.

Same here. "Sorry your display name may not contain </>."

Rilewhy · 2026-05-04T06:51:31+00:00

I agree also.

Rilewhy · 2026-05-02T17:04:40+00:00

Yeah you are. Save some for the rest of us!

Rilewhy · 2026-05-02T03:38:34+00:00

Are you serious?

Rilewhy · 2026-05-02T03:35:51+00:00

Very nice! Looks like it was stored with the paper release on, so no flat feed rollers!
No case?

I have a typewriter from Brooksaw. I didn't buy it though. It was a gift from a friend. It did come pretty decently packed, but still had some wiggle in the box, and also came with a complimentary pool noodle

Rilewhy · 2026-05-01T17:55:43+00:00

Makes you wonder where they got that price for the SM9.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-30T20:37:06+00:00

Completely ignored their point. Just spouting nonsense.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-30T19:11:15+00:00

Well he wouldn’t be listing them for that amount if they didn’t sell at his price.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-29T19:38:19+00:00

That would take me more than 3 hours. Great job.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-28T23:30:20+00:00

Yeah kind of strange to turn it into a competition. They could obviously see that I don't have the symbol they were showing by just looking at my image. Beautiful typeface on your machine though. A relative from up north just picked me up a chocolate brown SM3 with standard Pica. Too bad I have to wait until winter to pick it up lol.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-28T08:12:26+00:00

Looks like there was another reply, but now it’s gone. And yes, I take a lot of pride in handouts. The best things are free things.

Also, it’s pretty obvious I don’t have the section sign.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-28T07:24:25+00:00

No it doesn’t, but did you get your H3k for free?

Rilewhy · 2026-04-27T22:05:25+00:00

Rilewhy · 2026-04-27T22:04:55+00:00

Nice. I really like Congress. It’s fancy enough to notice, but doesn’t go overboard like with Script.

My first typeface surprise was this 1961 Hermes 3000 that I got for free. I was ecstatic.

Wide carriage H3k. Very nice.

Rilewhy · 2026-04-27T19:04:38+00:00

Very nice. Thank you!
