Hello, 

The tops of the letters are faded, meaning I suppose the typebars are hitting too high on the carriage. Is there a simple way to adjust this? I've done it on other machines, but am fairly new to Hermes. Thank you!

Steven

I'm listing two Groma Kolibris for sale, a Luxus and a standard, both from the sixties. Both in beautiful, working condition. Please check them out; let me know if you have questions. I think they are priced reasonably. ​



The brown / beige Luxus (QUERTY):

The silver / green one (QUERTZ):

I think a key shaped like this would work as well:

TypewriterKing, and it all goes well with coffee, aesthetically. 

I was going to try to glue it JustAnotherGuy, but someone tried before me, and filled it with some sort of silver hardener, which warped the spacebar (or else it already was warped). 

Anyway, two people surprisingly had parts machines with green rectangular keys, and one is on the way. So I can either use it with that, and casually keep up the search for a brown one, or paint it.

I recently came upon one of these in great condition, that looks similar to yours. I need a new spacebar for it though. I think the ones in this color scheme, Luxus, with the Groma logo in the front, were Quertz? And the ones for export did not have that? 

In my mind, it's a great typer. This one was like new inside, seemingly rarely used. It even seems to have a ribbon auto reverse mechanism. I'd read that it didn't, but it seems to.

I'm looking for a space bar, brown, rectangular, for a Groma Kolibri Luxus. Anyone have a parts machine with brown keys or know where to find one? The space bar was cracked. I tried to fix it, and it made it worse. Now it is space bar-less. Thank you.
