I associate Media and Player so much that each time I use this 1939 Hermes I think (Player) and the fact is; it is a real player.

It may be a simplified Hermes 2000, but it is one sweet machine. I like the logo on the right side (not sure what it is) but it looks cool. From what I’ve read when this was introduced in 1936 it lacked a back space key and ribbon selector (both added by 1939). Also on the 2000 in the rear was a knob for adjusting velocity.
