Just finished up the restoration. I should probably wash the switches but will probably kick that can down the road for now. Overall it came out nice. The solenoid was not working at first so I gave it a few taps and to my surprise it started firing again.

The layout is taking some getting used to. I am still on the fence about keeping it and have a few switches with weird spring tolerance issues (they are plated with a gold colored metal and a few of them are too large for the switch housing).

Sound demo (keep in mind the solenoid in the 3278 was just jammed up and is getting louder with use)- https://vimeo.com/266366974

Great finds! Cyrilic AND beamspring? Awesome! Enjoy the beamin'!

So pretty!

Excellent find, congratulations!

Thanks guys. I'm loving the lower height, angle and built in wrist rest on the 3278. It's much more comfortable vs the 5251 (although I am a bit more productive on the 5251 due to the layout). I think a low profile shell for the 5251 would be even better if it eventually comes into fruition.

Looks like in good shape! I am planning to get mine up from the basement, but still the front door is broken =(
