Where is the SPOILER tag when you need it?

Got new package yesterday, unfortunately I don't know too much about the keyboards, anybody could do a favor?

Appreciate it.

I can already smell the cigarette smoke from here.

Nice find, JP!

Is that another one at the left of the pic?

That's a German keyboard with IBM beamspring switches. Curiously, it looks like yours uses BLUE housings rather than the standard black. Looks very rough, but beamsprings are gold. Thanks, Chyros. Actually also my first seeing blue housing, thats interesting. I'll check whats like after disassembly...

Anybody here could give a shot for identifying and converting?

Appreciate it.

Where on earth did you get this? Congrats on your beamspring find.

Not that lucky at all, got this off ebay. Seems a lot of work should be done to finish restoration.

Anybody here could give a shot for identifying and converting? Appreciate it. Looks like it was stripped down from an IBM 3741/3742 datastation. The original PCB isn't easily convertible so you might have to try manufacturing a new PCB and reuse the mechanical parts(e.g. the beamspring assemblies)....

Could we go bit further to get 3278 beamspring manual?

I'm planning on selling my Displaywriter Beamspring (among all my other keyboards), maybe you might be interested. Original top label still in tact, zero rust on the plate, replaced foam to reduce wobbleness. Ran every part of the Beamspring mechanism through ultrasonic cleaning. Unconverted, but o...

I can recall the latest f104 or Unsaver was sold for 2K bucks, and I guess those guys who owned one have no too much interest to sell.

For the 4k or 5k€ money, thats your money, of course you could decide how to use it. That make sense.

Long shot but this is the best place to ask...does anyone have a clear photo of the layout on an IBM Model M 1394620 122-Key US ISO Layout?

Any reason you don't want to do a Google image search ?

I guess he did. Maybe he wants the pics with higher level quality.

Got the board without more couple days ago. In my first thought, its a 5251 beam spring or some kinda variant, but now I know it's not. Its much shorter than a nornal 77-key beam, more like being from a nondetachable device with case gone, so anybody here could give some help for identifying? Thank...

Received shipping information today, 2018/02 order date. super excited! Was the shipping info from the mail left when placing an order? I remembered i left email address and reddit account both, but reddit suspended my account permanently for no reason, thats shit. It went to the email address I or...

Easy, it shows 475$ shipping cost to my country.

$509USD, beat you for the most rip-off pricing on anything to my 3RD World establishment .

785.47$, welcome to the east of Europe

Hahaha, wonder where the shipping will surpass 1000$, this's something show off.

Damn, that's something really COOL.

I could help you out with the spacebar and a blank white X key, shame for such a nice board to be incomplete :) I've previously made resin casts of a few caps from my 3278, they're quite close to the originals: https://i.imgur.com/ajXUjtZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aI2NDyi.jpg The spacebar mold would ...

I saw the pic before, dk who took it but hope it could give some help.

F122 definitely.

I love huge keyboards with more keys than the normal 101 or 104 layout, but unsaver seems a special case, no chance to get one tho. Does anyone want to sell one here?

Do you have any idea why it's so heavy? Normally it should be lighter than an M.

The pics tell a lot. Date and Unicomp mark obviously show when and where it reborn. This's something uncommon.

I have seven SSKs and one indy SSK, but nah of them has the sort of tags. Very enjoyable.

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p731659256 I personally think this is a very rare vintage kbd with fujitsu leaf switch in industrial cover, no idea if seller could list the board only. The shipping cost from Janpa to my country for the host, display and keyboard will be terrible, but ma...
