If anyone happens to have an intact space-bar for the 3276/8 beamspring model please reach out to me.

Hi, I might have something. Can you measure how wide it is so I can check?

Length is around 16.7cm (6.6inches) and width is around 1.8cm (0.7inches)

Edit: this is measured on the bottom of the keycap as it's a bit smaller on the top, also could be a bit off.

I bought a whole keyset a while back to get local alphas, but I haven't managed to find a beamspring.

Interesting, is this from a selectric or something similar?

And there aren't any holes for a stabilizer right?
