IBM Beamspring keyboard of any kind

Fkazim · 30 May 2019, 10:19

Hi I am looking for an IBM Beamspring keyboard of any kind and am not too picky with the condition it terms of dirt if anyone has a Beamspring keyboard that they would be OK selling me. Or if anyone has any ideas where i could obtain one at a reasonable price would really appreciate the help. My preferable model of Beamspring would be the 5251 or the 3278 beam spring keyboard but otherwise would buy any other model.

Thanks

There is a 5251 in good condition on ebay, $1499. No idea its a reasonable price or not.

Anyone else got any ideas where I could obtain a beamspring keyboard or have one they are willing to sell?

Thanks.

Requires patience. The 'ol eBay is going to be the best way I think. Occasionally they pop up for auction rather than Buy it Now. That is probably going to be your best chance to get something below $1500. Really rough looking specimens sometimes go for a sub $1000 price, but even that is rare these days.

Just had a look at them but the price is way too high for me I want to pay something like $500-$650.

$790 maximum.

Thanks.

Just realised the Beamspring Keyboard you are selling is not convertible easily so won't really be a good buy for me.
