I’m glad you didn’t give up on it. I have one and it has a nice snappy typing action. Mine’s missing a linespacing lever though, which is rather inconvenient. Oh well…

You might try the yahoo typewriter forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TYPEWRITERS/
Also, I’m not sure if you replied to the right post… I’m not sure which typewriter you are referring to. My most current post about the Empire Typewriter had a screw that fell out but I have that covered..

Great to see you got it working well with minimal trouble! These Hermes Featherweights are definitely the most attractive of the Hermes ultraportables.

Do you still have the spring and the screw? I might just be able to supply the Lever. Is there a site where people can swap parts?
