Hey guys and gals! Because xwhatsit seams to be taking a well deserved break from his group buys, phosphorglow and myself are discussing doing a small group buy for xwhatsit’s beam spring controllers. We have some beam spring keyboards that we need to modernize, and imagine some other beam spring aficionados need a controller or two as well. We are going to limit this group buy to Beam Spring controllers, Beam Spring Displaywriter controllers, and solenoid drivers. For more information about xwhatsit beam spring controllers and solenoid drivers, see the links below:
xwhatsit’s Grand Unified IBM Capsense USB controller thread
xwhatsit’s Grand Unified IBM Capsense USB controller Order
Beamspring USB controller
Please add yourself to this Google spreadsheet with the type and amount of controllers that you would like to buy. We will keep this open until the end of April, and then open a group buy thread with complete information and start collecting payments.
We will test interest in this thread for a few weeks. If there is enough interest, we will have the whole process planned out and calculated cost estimates before we begin collecting payments. We will then start the group buy and have estimates for the total cost of components, shipping, assembly, and any other parts or labor. Phosphorglow will do the assembly and testing, or you can order the unassembled controller for a reduced price and assemble it yourself.
We hope to keep this group buy small, simple, and short. We are not doing Model F controllers for that reason. BEAM SPRING ONLY. Based on previous amounts from xwhatsit’s group buys, we do not anticipate more than 10-20 controllers total, plus solenoid drivers.
This would be the first group buy for both of us, but we are not newbies to buying and selling in the keyboard hobby. Phosphorglow is a respected Model M mechanic with over 100 refurbishments and developed this awesome Model M replacement controller. I have done a couple dozen Model M and F refurbishments myself, various other sales, and strive to be honest and reliable in all my transactions. So we hope that you can be confident in our creditability, reliability, and trustworthiness.
Thank you for your interest and please ask if you have any questions.
That Google spreadsheet again.
