That moves almost freely and doesn't seem to do anything other than contact the side of the star wheel and move away. Looking under the typewriter, that post moves something near the star wheel, under the back-space pawl. I notice that the carriage release levers move a bar that runs under the carriage and engages a vertical post. (letters don't make it all the way to the platen, either, as if the line lock is on). Carriage release levers do nothing, nor do space, tab, backspace, or letters. if I got Ted Munk's Hermes 3000 Typewriter Repair Bible, am I 80% of the way there?Meanwhile: I've got a Hermes 2000 that came to me with a carriage that's frozen a half inch or so right of center. How much similarity is there between the 3000 and the 2000? I.e. I'm looking for a service manual for the Hermes 2000.
