From Syracuse

I made the 450, 30 gallon trip to Syracuse and back to fetch Gyruss for restoration. I am wiped out. Good Night, Everybody.
Bezel
14 May 2014
The Gyruss bezel art is a grail for me. Most unit either have no art or damaged art. No reproduction exists. I keep trying to find a printer that will print to cardboard and have failed so far. This unit needs that bezel art.
Acquisition
12 May 2014
My VAPS entry got a hit. I have a nice Gyruss that is not perfect. I like having Gyruss in the game room but I have had so many now I am sure I can always get another one. I listed it as “Available” for $600 on VAPS.
I received an email inquiring about the Gyruss. It was from a .de address. After some cursory domain scans and Spam list checks, I decided to open it. A collector in Germany wanted my Gyruss. Specifically he wanted a nice, restored Gyruss with the Osborn kit, recapped monitor and as much original as possible. He also wanted a Donkey Kong. Oh and a Time Pilot board to swap into the Gyruss.
This is the story of the Gyruss.
He found one in Utica, NY for $175. Not a problem for me because Tim Iskander is only a short drive form Uitca. Tim grabbed the unit for us.
