I have recently been stripping down a Schluter Mini-Boy and have come across a Gyro that I don't recognise.
I have posted pics on Gallery, Where do the wires go? I suspect to switch, servo, and, Rx. Does anyone recognize it?

Not only do I recognise it, I used to own one a long time ago. It is british made, though sadly gone out of business ages ago.

As far as I can remember, one lead goes to the servo.(This should have a female connector, all others are male.

The next lead is the rudder channel on your receiver (ch 4 on futaba)

The last lead plugged into your gain channel, usually ch 5 on futaba.

There was no on/off switch. It just started up when the Rx was turned on.

I have the instructions for these somewhere, I will e-mail you a copy if I find them.. I still have a Quest gyro that I had serviced a few years ago and haven't used since. They updated the PC board. To be honest you'd be better off with a cheap piezo. For your information if you stand the gyro on the small end with the wires at the bottom facing you then the centre wire, female, goes into the rudder channel on the rx, the left hand wire, male, has the rudder servo plugged into it and that leaves the right hand female wire that is the gain channel. I think the earlier ones didn't have a reverse switch but my one has, otherwise you have to mount the gyro upside down to reverse it. Set the gain screw on max and use channel 5, or whichever you are using as the gain channel, ATv's to set two gains.
