This product became the toy of the evening for grandchildren age: 4, 10, and children 26, 27, 28 and 30 and husband age 59! Our 10 year old grandchild said "who knew some old toy like this could be so much fun"!

My rating of Original TEDCO Gyroscope - Nostalgic Twin Pack
Posted 24 days ago by Laura Hansen

Rating:

I work with K-6 graders, and from the first day I introduced this toy it has become a favorite. Even some of the hand held computer games are left for the gyroscopes. I think they are amazed at how it works. Their interest level is high, and they marvel at how long it can stay spinning.

TEDCO Gyroscope

I ordered the Gyroscopes after seeing a not so good one while at a friends house. We talked a bit about the ones we got when we were kids, how they actually worked back then. After I got home I tried a search for Gyroscopes and was sent to Fat Brain where I found the "Original TEDCO Gyroscope - Nostalgic Twin Pack." When they arrived I was pleased to see they looked like the "old" ones, I put a drop of oil on the points where they spin and pulled the string. If you are careful when pulling the string you can actually get them to do a few tricks almost like the "old" ones. One has to remember the way your mind worked back when you used the "old" ones, so keeping everything in mind I think they are about the same. At any rate I had fun with the "new" ones.

A Blast from the Past

Both of my boys are thrilled with the gyroscopes and what they can do with them. I'm very pleased. It's nice to see a toy that does not require batteries, electricity or a TV screen elicit so much interest.

Review for Original TEDCO Gyroscope - Nostalgic Twin Pack
Posted 7/9/2007 by Barbara

Rating:

Love the idea of the gyroscope, but we are having trouble getting it right. My 10 year old grandson has not got it to work, so I am assuming it will just take some practice - instructions about how to hold it when ready to pull cord could be more explicit.

Gyroscope Like Years Ago
Posted 4/8/2007 by Jacob

Rating:

The product was exactly as advertised - two gryoscopes and two strings. They work as they should and have survived various falls. The outer frame itself leaves some desirablity, the weld line is clearly visible and possibly a weak point on the gyroscope.

Great Toy

After my son received a cheap plastic gyroscope at a local event, I ordered these quality gyroscopes by Tedco. When I was a kid, I remember having one of these gyroscopes for years, and I always thought it was a great toy. I don't know if Tedco was the manufacturer, but the product looks the same. Anyway, I wasn't sure how it would go over with my 3 kids, but all of them have playing with them. My kids are aged 11, 13, and 15. I would say the gyroscopes are a hit. It is a pretty basic toy, but you get it spinning and twist it around in your hands. It's a blast.

Information about Original TEDCO Gyroscope - Nostalgic Twin Pack
Posted 1/28/2007

Rating:

Just the same as the one I had in the 60's. My 6 year old granddaughter was fascinated, and we could both play because I bought the twin pack. Better than an electronic toy.

Toy Gyroscope

I purchased the gyroscopes so that my friend and I could learn about them. They are not easy to start spinning and require some hand strength, but they work well enough to get the idea of what's going on.

I would like to have more info on gyroscopes and how they are actually used in airplanes, rockets or various other applications.
