Hi all!  Hope everyone is doing well and feeling healthy!!!

One of our greatest shipping fears came true for me a few weeks ago.  I got a great deal on a QWERTZ Hermes 3000 and it was shipped poorly.  The 3000 received a NASTY squish, dent in her rear left corner, like dropping an iPad from the 2nd floor.  The Aluminium is so badly squashed, only an auto-body shop would be able to reform this, unless anyone has a novel idea!  The cost of having that done is quite outrageous, so I am looking to purchase one that is not deformed, as we all know the bottom integrity is vital to the overall functionality of the machine.  I cannot get the body to sit straight.  Any extra bottoms (no pun intended)?
Thanks, CJ

Hello!  New member here!  This is a fabulous site with lots of VERY valuable info and knowledgeable people.
Was collecting a few before it became such a popular passion for many and now am focusing on my few Olympias and getting them up to speed.  I enjoy the challenge of a repair job and these Oly's are a bit of a challenge.  Thanks for the great place to read and post!
