Combined attitude/heading indicator

Hi everyone, I am trying to find out more about the combined attitude/heading indicator where pitch, bank and heading are all indicated by movements of a globe with parallels and meridians drawn on it. As far as I know, it was used on A-4 and F-4, maybe elsewhere.
Could anyone tell:
- the manufacturer and model number(s)
- whether in production today, and any references, if so
- if you are a pilot, your personal attitude (no pun intended) to this type of device: would you want one on your own plane instead of conventional artificial horizon?
Thanks!
