This was a nice addition, ah yes, yessir you have 3 Hermes' life is good Joe, life is good....lol I've been looking, found one I loved on eBay looks like its in perfect condition on bid only, I got the serial number its a 1958 Curvey Hermés it doesn't have the two cut outs in the front of the fram flanking the left and right sides of the Space Bar...hiw is there no Bar for writers named The Space Bar.... anyway hard to find a good one under $400.00 prices are blown out of control for these machines. I'd of course like to get a Curvey Hermés. Sea foam green, love the color green and all its shades. To be continued, right? I really like these videos where you fo outside or take a walk with us. Thanks again Joe.
I used to own one of these in the nineties! Mine was in script type and I gave it to a young man who would use it more than me. Amazing touch, just like my Ambassador, don't know how the Swiss did it. Even my Hermes Baby types differently than my Olympia SF...
Your Net Typewriter Tax Assessment, while higher than last year, is lower than we planned for at that time, therefore, your Typewriting taxes for this year, while higher than last, are actually a decrease in your typwriting taxes.
Difficult decision Joe. If like me you change the typewriter you use each week for another from your collection, portable and semi-portable typewriters of the 1950s and 1960s seem to be the best for uninterrupted creative writing, as they are (mostly) more reliable. On the other hand, typewriters like the earlier Royal Model O, the folding Corona, or the Flying Oliver No.3 are trickier to use for various reasons, and maybe because of that they are also great fun to attempt to master. Typewriter rescuing and restoring for use is a balancing act, and also a question of where to put the next set of wire shelving for more typewriters!
Hello! I'm a Brazillian and i need your help (sorry for my bad english) My typewriter is stalling, the "roll" doesn't go past halfway, as if the margin is around there (it's not) I have no idea what to do and I have no experience with such issues. Could you give me some help? (Olivetti 82)
Move the margins out to the edge of the carriage, can you freely move the carriage fully from one end to the other with the carriage release lever activated? If not, there is something blocking the movement. Is there a carriage lock activated? These are used to center the carriage to safely move or store the machine.
Man, you're just killing it this week with uploads Joe!
I love your new glasses! Man
Thanks, they are nice.

Great swap!
Given the length of time that he has remained in business, I would guess that Mr. Lewis ultimately found the business recipe that worked best for him.
Yes, and I admire him for working like he does at his age.

Yea, that’s what my typewriter accountant told me too!
Holy cow, you got rid of that O faster than I did mine, and for similar reasons.
I think John was quick to offer an exchange because then he wouldn’t have to immediately fix the Royal.
Like the table x leg,, how sturdy is it?

Room is the real challenge for certain!
