Hey boys and girls, I found some gyros for sale over in Shapsburg Ga, looks to be KB/Bensen type with Mac and VW engines.
one gyro had a landing incident, not sure how bad, one is half built and the other is complete.
One set bensen blades, 2 sets vortech blades with 2 sky wheels hub bars, set of expansion chambers, and a spre turbo charged VW engine.
I will try to post some pics, the woman wants it all gone, right now they are asking $12k for everything, but I am not sure how much interest there is in the mac powered classic gyros.
Here is a post on Gabors forum if you are a member there:

Anyone have any ideas about what this stuff may be worth? I don't want any of it and am not interested, I figured I would pass the info along.
I got a message today from a representative of the owner of these items. There is now a pending requirement for these items to be removed from the property. As such, the original $12K asking price waived. All offers are now being considered. If you are interested in these, contact me or send me a request in the "Contact Us" section and I will pass along the contact information for the owner's representative. For privacy reasons, the owner's representative does not want to publish contact information on the web.
Just got a text from the guy next door who knows this guy, I guess everything else is gone except the gonner under the tarp.
MAC engine, probably rusted up tight, airframe...He was wanting $1000, I told him it was mostly junk, like 99.99%
If anyone wants to make an offer, $25, $50 $100? let me know, I guess he is going to haul it off for scrap...I would get it just to put on a pole for a wind indicator, but I have enough crap I need to get rid of..
