RETURN OF THE LOOTY
The redoubtable MAKE has posted its own instructions for the construction of contemptable LOOTY, the terrible toy. As their version is slightly different from mine and has what I consider to be a design flaw as regards the all-important admission of light, I am posting the above diagram along with a bad scan of an early ad for the device. WARNING: Looty-use may be harmful to your brain circuitry. Discontinue use and destroy device if reciprocal brain-looting leads to fatigue, hallucination, depression, , eyestrain, insomnia, paroniria, paranoia or paranormality.

I want a Looty!
Oh my gosh, I remember the Looty from the copy of Jimland Novelties I still to this very day prominently display! I really wanted one... but was afraid to make that a reality. Maybe I was right to be?
Still... now that it's become a DIY, I'm intrigued anew! It's been democratized.
Jim, that magazine ad is brilliant. I am terrified and inspired.
Alternately, you could build this little guy:

Thats awesome Jim, I love your magazine ads.
Horrifying yet terrifying.
That ad made my day. Thanks JIM!
Hey that's pretty hot. I want a looty!

Looty made a strong impression on me when I first saw that ad years ago.
This is perfect because I like freaky toys like this, I still play with them because I had a difficult childhood, I wanna recover those days.

Hello, i think that this post is the best that i have read.
I’ve been browsing on-line rather more than three hours lately, nevertheless I don’t ever discovered any interesting posting like your site. It’s fairly worth enough for me. In my view, if most of web site house owners and folks produced great content material materials as you do, the web can be much far more helpful than ever before.
