Good evening,

I have a converted IBM 6580 Displaywriter Beamspring Keyboard up for sale. It only really need a case clean-up, or paint and some switches replaced.

Here are some pics of the keyboard:

I am looking for 700usd + shipping from Canada, Ottawa. All original stuff can also be included (OG controller, beeper, cable, etc)

Details are as follows:
  • Converted using a Displaywriter Xwhatsit controller, key remappable, sold by modelfkeyboards (Ellipse), added a Solenoid driver to use with the original Beeper, or a small Solenoid.
  • Mushy foam has been replaced, so switches are supported properly
  • Keyboard case is relatively clean, no rust.
  • Beamspring switches in Alphas area have been ultrasonically cleaned.
  • There is a case crack on the top right, which is not visible in daily use.
  • Around 3 or 4 keycaps have broken/ partially broken stems. I will include a set of Grey IBM Selectric II keycaps free of charge to fill up the whole board
  • Around 7 or 8 switches have broken/ partially broken fly plates, so unfortunately they cannot actuate, and do not work. There might be a DIY solution to replace the fly plates, but I'm not very knowledgeable

Feel free to drop any question in comment or in dms. Thank you everyone!
