Available for acquisition - a Block II Apollo Command Module Flight Direction Attitude Indicator (FDAI) or "8-Ball"; one of the most prominent/recognizable instruments installed on the CM main panel (second only to the DSKY). The FDAI provided visual queuing of spacecraft orientation and attitude rates.
If seriously interested, please establish off-line contact with me to coordinate sale and shipment. All images can be clicked-on for higher resolution photos; 3rd image is of Casper (Apollo 16) installed FDAIs.

Scott, an awesome piece. But how are you going to finish your CM without it?
