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.

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.

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.

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.

Gyroscopes and Theology

The gyroscopes work beautifully. I bought 10 because I will distribute them to the young people at our church during the children's sermon. They demonstrate how the Holy Spirit, which God puts within us, keeps us centered on Christ our Lord, and when we drift away we can feel the tug of the Spirit in the same way you feel the tug of the gyroscope when you hold it in your hand and then turn your hand - even slightly.

sorry to say, this is not up to your quality products...
trying not to compare it to the quality of such a gyroscope, say, from the Smithsonian Museum Shop, I knew it wasn't going to be as good, but there were two and since I was gifting two children with the other things, this seemed like a good thing to share....no one was interested in the gyroscopes, just not easy enough to handle, too small to be of visual interest, totally ignored by the kids....this should be a clear winner to someone who has never seen the device, not so in this case because of poor quality, you should consider dropping, it is not even a stocking stuffer....
was surprised to note on the box, that they were made in the USA....disappointed in the product overall...

Your service and product were 5 star however tmy 7 year old granddaughter could not wind the string and therefore it will have to go on the shelf until she is older. I searched for a birthday gift for her designated for 7 year olds. It was disappointing for her and for me.

Great Toy
Posted 3/20/2007 by Jerry Meyers
Rating:
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.

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.

Great retro toy from the 40's and 50's. No batteries..you actually have to make it work yourself. Uses science and muscle energy together. How novel! Better get you one.

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.
