Say hi to my own Beamfoot
one of my fav beams, i am so lucky to have found the opportunity to buy one. It's missing the right "field +" keycap + stab, if someone has a spare from a 5251/5285, please contact me. In any language.
Thanks!

The top case was always plastic on this model. The top cases of the 6580 and the 4978 were also plastic.karlmartin95 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2020, 19:35Great find, congrats! Can you confirm if the top case is plastic?

i bought it from a collector who had the whole 5285 system abandoned. It was quite expensive
Is my third beamer, i'm absolutely in love with this switch.
the missing key will be a problem, i'll try to fit a cherry keycap or 3D print.

I just found one on ebay. It looks like the Field + key on this one is a weird rocker style tab key:
