Hi guys!

Been looking for one of these beamspring models for a while now, and I finally decided to post on here. Would love to buy one, if any of you would have one for sale, or would consider selling it. Mainly interested in either the 3276 or 3278 models, but other beamers are also interesting :)

Please let me know if you have something, and thank you in advance!

hi kyonbasedgod,

you wtb a beamspring - I have one.

I restored this old 3278 Beamspring from the '70s, upgraded it with USB, and made it suitable for everyday use with an alternative set of Selectric keys. It was a lot of fun, but now I'm wondering if someone else might want the keyboard even more than I do.

contact me, if this of interest

greetings from germany, axel

Hi Axel! I had completely forgotten about this post since some major life changes occurred, but that sounds very interesting. Do you still have it? I can't seem to send you a PM (it just gives me a 403 errror message). Can you reach me on Discord? My username is kyonbasedgod

Sorry it took so long, but I've sent a friend request on disc if it's still available :D
