Just wanted to quickly ask if anyone knows what sort of springs I can use to replace the coils that help return the key after being pressed down. The ones I have are in terrible condition and the only replacement parts I can find were a ridiculous set of 90 gold plated springs on ebay for £100 with postage

Seems a little high. I got the 90 gold spring set for 75CAD+ shipping for my own restoration. On the plus side, I now have like 70+ original springs in fantastic shape. I'll do $3 apiece if you need them. A little evaporust should save most of yours I would think.

Do you mean the springs in each beam spring module? I have thousands of new reproductions of these since the springs used in the new beam spring project are the same specifications as the originals and can be used in both IBM and new beam spring keyboards.
Everyone feel free to PM/email me if they need any replacement springs for lost/rusted/damaged beam springs.
