I have made two so far. Here is an article giving you an idea of which games you can destroy to make one. :)
If you need to see pictures i can take a picture of mine.

Ahh good ol' Gyromite. I love that everyone gets rid of this game.. because they don't have Rob, and then I come along and buy it in the local game store for $1 everytime =D =D =D. 70% chance that it contains it. I know that there is a difference in the rob in the corner, but its too hard for me to remember which is which

Sure if you wouldnt mind. This isnt to crazy of a project is it? I wouldnt say Im the best at soldering.
What sucks about those Gyromites is the converters only seem to be in the US copies. Ive yet to find one in any of the Canadian copies.

No soldering whatsoever. You only need a screwdriver, some sand paper, a xacto blade and a file if you have it.
It is only found in the U.S. copies. The reason why there even are the converters inside of the early US carts is because Nintendo had to hit a deadline for the US NES release. They didn't have enough of the US chips they promised for launch. Their solution was to use old Famicom chips + a converter so it would work on the US NES.
Best bet it to just find one on ebay if you aren't in the states
