I took some photos with my smartphone camera. I hope this will do.ifohancroft wrote: ↑25 Nov 2020, 05:37Might be a bit of a weird request, but can you please take and post a picture of the keycaps dead on from the top, like a straight up 90 degrees angle between the camera and the keycaps?

Some people get too lucky in life.. Nice find!karlmartin95 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2020, 04:14Hi guys, It's me again. Today I want to show you a loot of IBM boards that I found in a "Financial Company".
- x2 IBM 5281 Complete Terminal (Keyboard and Data Terminal)
- x2 IBM Terminal Model M (Silver and Blue badge)
- A bag full of diskettes and tapes for 5281 machines
The gold here is the 5218 Beamspring Spanish layout. I searched around the web for more info about them but I found nothing, only one post from a user here, in DT. I don't know either how rare they are, perhaps you guys can help me. One detail about these boards, the top case is all PLASTIC.
Some images of the loot:
I've never seen a Beamspring keyboard with a buzzer/speaker inside, somebody knows anything about it?
Overall, the beamsprings are in good shape I think, but they need a good restoration for sure.
PD: This will be a RESTORATION post, like my old F77 Restoration one.
