Be sure the center screw pin is clear
You can put the Famicom PCB INSIDE the Gyromite cart housing.

I like Hobie's solution if you have multiple Famicom carts to convert.

I don't want to track down a famicom since there aren't enough games I would be interested in importing (heck, the one game I would REALLY be interested in, 100 World Story, I'd probably never be able to find), so would you guys stand behind the Honey Bee? It seems much more affordable than some of the alternatives.

cheapest converter is definitely in Gyromiyte (few copies) or Stack-up (all copies).
