WTB: 1962 Hermes 3000 left platen knob and clear card guide holder
Just purchased a 1962 Hermes 3000 which is missing the left platen knob and the clear card guide. If anyone has these for sale or knows where i could find them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,,
John

Hi John,
Mr. Jacques Perrier in Switzerland is one of largest parts-suppliers for Hermes and even Olympia typewriters.
He sells and ships parts around the world. Usually he will want to see a photo or two of the machine or part you are needing.
I have been a customer several times. He ships quickly and the part are always perfect.
He also runs a Typewriter Museum.
His contact email is : musee@machineaecrire.ch
And a link about his Museum :

And Amsterdam Typewriter in Holland is also a good source for knobs and feet...3D printed one.
I have a set of their feet on my H3K and my Baby as well. Excellent quality and nice and gripy rubber.
Owner is a nice gal and she ships quickly as well.

Thanks Pete. I have already emailed this guy/company based on an older posting by you, but I have not received any response after a few days. I found a seller from southern ca on ebay who i’m communicating with about a knob, but I can’t find a paper guide anywhere. I will try to contact Jacques Perrier again in a couple days. Duane Jensen also recommended him to me.
Thanks,
John

John,
If you are on FaceBook, you can also search for his full name and send him a Message. That is usually the fastest way to get a reply from Jacques.

How long does Jaques tend to take to get back to you, Pete? Sent him a message on Facebook yesterday as you suggested and still no response. Duane at Phoenix Typewriter also recommended him to me. I’m getting antsy and might just order a 3d printed knob from a different vendor but so far unable to source the clear card guide.

Jacques did get back to me and he has both parts, so thanks again, Pete!

John,
Glad he was able to help you out. Post up a photo of your new machine when it is all sorted.
