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

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