Title: IBM Model M -- Buckling Spring Dimensions?
Post by: WubbaDucki on Thu, 14 July 2011, 11:22:24
I have a question about the IBM Model M: does anyone know the dimensions of the buckling spring?

Specifically:

1. Wire Size
2. Free Length
3. Outside Diameter
4. Total Number of Coils

I can't seem to find this information online.

Also, how difficult is it to change out a spring on a hammer? Has anyone made a tool to do it?
