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!
ReplyDeleteOh 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?
ReplyDeleteStill... 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.
ReplyDeleteAlternately, you could build this little guy:

Looty made a strong impression on me when I first saw that ad years ago.
