Hello,
after having introduced myself this is my second post to GH and I hope this is not too boring...
I was digging for some old treasure when I found an old keyboard which on the front says "IBM" and when i pulled one of its keycaps it had one of these springs in it.
Since I am not THAT expert to keyboards, I was wondering if this was one model that goes by the name of "buckling spring".
The keyboard was found here in Germany but it has (believed to have...) nordic layout. What makes me wonder now that Im quiete new to vintage keyboards is the history of this keyboard,
is it any good and what can be told about this "artifact" :)
So I give the info that I have to your expertise... Have fun !
