There's still no bids on the TruTrak ADI below.  It's well worth $600 or
a bit more.  I'd go as high as $800 for one that's been treated as nicely
as this one appears to have been treated.  Actually, I don't think anyone
buys expensive electronics and abuses them.  

This one is 3 1/8" and will exactly fit your T empty space.

If it is labeled "Falcon" it is direct from China. They are imported by 
Wultrad. Their instruments have a history of poor performance and reliability.

The seller couldn't really pinpoint what he thought the "occasionally 
does something funny" feature is all about.  I plan to give it a good 
VFR checkout before putting any money down.  I only want one in the 
panel to get me out of a spot where I got a bit stupid or maybe on 
those days flying high when it's hazy and no horizon.  I don't want 
those times to be  the time it "does something funny".

If you are going to steal it, the Falcon will probably be cheaper than
what this fellow on eBay is expecting to get for his TruTrak ADI below,
but an AI is something you want to be able to implicitly trust.  I
wouldn't want something that occasionally "does something funny."  

I see the auction below has no bids so it will probably go for around
what he started the bidding off with - $600.  With the GPS model (as this
one is - it comes with a GPS puck that plugs into the back of the
instrument) Gulf Coast Avionics wants $1200+ for a new one.  This one on
eBay looks like new.  TruTrak will do for free any service work that
might ever be necessary (even if you're not the original owner) but since
these things are all solid state it isn't likely to ever need anything. 
Mine never has.  Great instrument.   The GPS track readout replaces a DG
for all practical purposes and reduces scan.
