	The Original Tedco® GYROSCOPE
	Another one of our favorite toys from way back when, and we are happy to say it is still MADE IN AMERICA. History of the Tedco Gyroscope The amazing Gyroscope defies gravity, and illustrates a number of concepts from physics and science. This device is at the heart of modern inertial navigation systems used on ships and airplanes. Ages 6+ Our Gyroscope is precision engineered for near perfect balance, with mini-ball bearings for a long spin. Wind it with a pull string like a top, or get it spinning with the easy-to-use plastic geared T-handle.	Balancing on the rim of a glass jar Tip: A drop of "3-in-1" oil in the bearings makes it work better.
	Precision Gyroscope: $10.95 OUT OF STOCK You might also like our Classic Slinky, Throwing Tops, Yo-yos, or Balsa Airplanes We have suspended sales of the gyroscopes temporarily due to an unbalanced rotor that causes the gyro to vibrate and spin for only a short time. Tedco is in the process of obtaining properly balanced rotors for their gyroscopes, which may mean finding yet another domestic supplier. Meanwhile, they have offered to send us some of their less expensive model as replacements. As soon as we obtain some, we will offer them on this page. Also, we have found a Japanese gyroscope of moderate cost and very high quality that is not distributed in the US. We are going to try to find out how we can obtain a supply of this product. Chances are you have probably played with a gyroscope at some point in your life. More than likely, it was a Chandler gyroscope. For over 70 years the Chandler Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, produced and sold tens of millions of gyroscopes all over the country. In 1982 TEDCO, Inc. purchased the Chandler Company. Since then, the toy line has expanded.	The Gyroscope hangs from a string without falling. How is this possible?
	TEDCO® was first established as a research & development company by the late Ralph Teetor. Mr. Teetor was a well-known and highly respected inventor who started TEDCO (Teetor Engineering Development Company) as a vehicle to foster his inventions. His most renowned accomplishment is the "cruise control" on your automobile. Mr. Teetor was blinded at an early age, yet he did not allow his lack of sight to hinder his creative genius. He was president of the former Perfect Circle Corporation and was inducted posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Today, TEDCO is owned by Mr. Teetor's daughter Marjorie Teetor Meyer and the Meyer family along with some TEDCO employees. Most of TEDCO's direction has been turned over to the employees with a new emphasis on manufacturing scientific and educational toys like the TEDCO Gyroscope Top Of This Page
