Nice cleanup, looks great! I like the logo with that centered big 10.

I did have to pay a "dear" price of a bit over $ 200 USD since I was up against another bidder.

But two other machines for sale here in the USA out of Washington State have asking prices of $ 685 and $ 650, respectively.  First one is fully serviced with a new platen in a retail shop.  Second one is claimed to be fully refurbished and cleaned but interior photos show otherwise with lost of correcto-tape and eraser dust and sold from a home business.

Since I got some bargain prices for the last 2-3 machines in-coming, I do not mind spending a bit more on this Hermes 10.

I am hoping it types was well as my Olympia SGE-35 and my Facit 1840.  Similar size, weight, and foot print amongst these 3 machines.

I suspect the case with my in-coming machine is not factory-issue...but seems like it did its job keeping good care of the machine.  I will probably go with a nice cotton dust cover on the machine when in my home.


 

I was fortunate to have picked up a Hermes 10 on eBay, yet the seller was local!  Yay no shipping! It’s in working condition but the rubber feet are crumbling. This machine is “case-less” and has different feet than some others. If I cannot locate replacements I’ll improvise. Anyone have a source? Thanks for the belt information about the belts.

Your photo link does not open up to a photo.

Here is a photo of the very decent feet on my machine.

Thank you so much! I’ll be working on my posting skills today. There’s so much I want to learn and share. Those could be the same size. The feet on this Hermes 10 maybe look wider because they are smooshed and crumbling.

I copied the Imgur link with advice from mr. FountainPensPlus. Hope it works now!
