No. 40- Typewriter of the Day: Hermes Media 3 (Series 2)

No. 40 - TOTD: Hermes Media 3 (Series 2)

Here is a series 2 Hermes Media 3 with script font.  I didn't notice in the pictures when I bought this machine that the carriage knobs were broken.  I was interested in the script typewface and the low price.  Heinz overhauled this for me and managed to replace the knobs.  Media 3 version of the Hermes line is a stripped down machine with no touch control, tabs or the fancy margin inidcators of the 3000, other then that they are identical.

As for  writer that used a Media 3, sadly I have not located one yet but I will keep looking.

Have a great day.

Looks like the equation is a little shaky - lets  fix the data again.  The Warmies hate it when their dialogue is upset.

No. 39 - Typewriter of the Day: Triumph Norm

No. 39 - TOTD Triumph Norm

As I have said, I love Triumph typewriters,  I can't remember when I bought this machine.  I must not have been paying attention since this machine has a German keyboard.  I must have got it on a first bid.  When I opened it up to try it I was amazed, its another time capsule with the paper work and the accessories included - NICE.  The machine was overhauled by Heinz at Addon and his said it was in good condition and dated from 1953 though he couldn't fine the serial number to check.  This moved it to the keeper herd.  Typing on it I noticed I needed a new ribbon but the touch was excellent and the German Keyboard didn't stumble me.

I was interested to see if therewas a writer who used this model.

Gong back to Richard Polt's site I found the German writer Wolfgang Koeppen.  Again a writer I have to put on my list.
