"A fixed axle, adjustable gap yoyo that sleeps (almost) forever! The patented friction system allows for long sleep times, superb control, and extended string life."
• Wood and brass construction with your choice of material and finish (the model in this exhibit is made of mahogany with a natural finish (grain filled and three coats of polyurethane).
• Balanced and matched halves.
• Adjustable gap.
• Handmade.
• Axle is made from piano wire that is only 2mm (.078") diameter. By far the thinnest axle of any yo-yo made. This uncommon size translates to exceptionally long spin times for a fixed axle yo-yo.
This yo-yo has solid identification on one halve (name of business, name of yo-yo, and where it was made) and exquisite craftsmanship overall.
Collected directly from John McAvoy, the yo-yo's creator and inventor, March 12, 2001.
This yo-yo is covered by U.S. patents 5,254,027 (October, 1993), and 5,389,029 (February, 1995).
Original retail price: $42 US. | |
