In reply to emma. I don't have one handy, but I recall you need to tuck the carriage return lever down before the lid can snap on.

In reply to AJ. No worries. More than likely you margin settings were moved. Youtube Hermes 3000 typewriter and you'll see several demonstrations/ operational tutorials online. Tappitty tappity tapp tap!

I have an old hermes rocket portable machine with the hard case…mint green. I don’t know when it was made but it says on the back “Made in Switzerland”. It’s in very good original condition and everything still works, except the ribbon could use more ink. I’m wondering what something like this would be worth.

I’ve got a 1970 Hermes Rocket and for some reason the carriage can no longer be pushed all the way to the right so that I can type from the leftmost edge of the paper. I’m able to type on the right half of the page though.

Any ideas as to what might have happened? It was working fine at one point.

In reply to Marcos Marcell.

Hello there

I am in need of an owners manual for a 1980’s model made in Brazil. I am not sure how to install the ribbon. I seems there are extra post threading mechanisms in this later model Rocket.

Thanks,

Paul from USA California

Why do people write “small form-factor” instead of “small form” (or small size)?

I just got in a 1970 Rocket, and I like it. Here is the link to it in the Typewriter Database. http://typewriterdatabase.com/1970-hermes-rocket.6305.typewriter
