	I ran across an ad/article about a very small (golf ball size) gyro
    a few months ago and posted information to this group. Since that time I
    have mislaid the orginal article. If any one out there is archiving this
    group, could you please look back and see if you can resurrect my orgianl
    post. This gyro (if memory serves) was real cheap, i.e. about 1-200 dollars
    and was extremely small.


	In the mean time I'll dig through my paper archives and see if I can
    find the orginal.
