I have an attitude gyro from my 73 G model that I removed about 2 years ago. It is an auto-pilot gyro that worked with my Century III auto-pilot that I have in my plane. I am not at home at the moment to give the specifics but I could have precise details for you later today or tomorrow. There is some history you should know however. About six years ago shortly after I purchased the airplane it got rained on at Oshkosh. The access panel to the avionics in front of the windshield leaked and filled the vacuum system with water. This gyro filled with water as a result of this event. It was sent out for overhaul to Joliet Avionics. I used it after the overhaul until about 2 or so years ago and thought it was starting to act a little lazy so I decided it was time to buy a brand new one so I did. I personally feel it is probably a paper weight however I would be willing to ship it to you and if you want to have a shop check it out and give their opinion of it that would be fine. If you decide to keep it you can send me $100 and if not then you could send it back to me.
