IBM 3277 Beamspring
Posted: 11 Oct 2017, 19:37
Just received two IBM mini 3277s in the mail today!
I wasn't sure if any of them was the beamspring version, but I was very exited when I tested the second keyboard and got a wonderful click

Cable cloth tag: Nov 18 1972
What's really interesting is the quality difference in the key caps between the micro switch and beamspring variants. I have 2 other microswitch 3277s and all 3 seem to have this brown-ish wear on the white lettering, but the beamspring ones look fantastic! Also how some of he modifiers on the microswitch are thicker
