Hello,
This is my first post in Deskthority!
I've been on a hunt for a beamspring keyboard, and was fortunate enough to find an IBM 6580 displaywriter. I have since converted the keyboard, and I'm now looking to trade it for other beamspring keyboard, preferably non-5152.
It would be great if I could trade with someone also in Canada, but any offer is much appreciated.
Feel free to drop any questions, I'll be happy to answer them

Not sure If it would interest you but I do have a fairly rare IBM 5382 module with selectric grey and black keycaps. Also have an Xwhatsit controller alongside it and was planning to use it for anouther project but I quite like the 6580. Only catch is that because the 5382 is module it does not have a case so you would need to either use as it is or make a simple box case (I was planning on fitting it into a table personally )ktvkeyboards wrote: ↑10 Jan 2023, 06:45Edit: Also offering a set of grey IBM Selectric keycaps since some keycaps stems have been broken (only the blank and macro keys, not on the main 60% area)

That sounds interesting, I've just looked up the pictures and I quite like the layout of the 5382. I'll send you a message!ArtyomTheMetroHopper wrote: ↑10 Jan 2023, 14:48Not sure If it would interest you but I do have a fairly rare IBM 5382 module with selectric grey and black keycaps.
