Typewriter Supply Co.
Restore smooth, precise operation to your Hermes 3000 First Generation typewriter with this newly made set of frame mount bushings, designed as a precise reproduction of the original internal spacing components.
These bushings play a critical role in maintaining the correct cushioning and separation between the inner mechanical assembly and the outer frame of the machine. Installed in the original pressed C-slot mounting points, they replace aged or compressed originals that often flatten over time.
When these bushings deteriorate, the internal carriage and mechanisms can sit too low or shift out of alignment, causing increased friction, scraping against the frame, inconsistent key action, and issues with functions such as spacing and tabbing. Restoring the correct spacing is essential for proper performance.
Each bushing is made from durable, flexible TPU material, engineered to restore the original clearance and absorb vibration while allowing the internal mechanisms to move freely as designed. The result is smoother typing, improved consistency, and reduced wear on internal components.
Installation is straightforward, fitting directly into the original C-slot frame mounts, making this a highly effective restoration part with minimal effort required.
Proudly made in Canada, this set is an essential maintenance upgrade for collectors, restorers, and users of the Hermes 3000 First Generation, helping return the machine to its proper mechanical alignment and performance.
