I turned Tom Servo (MST3K) into a lamp. [OC] - Lemmy.World

I made a puppet replica of Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000] over 20 years ago. After many years and lots of knocking around, the poor guy had worn out a lot. I replaced some old parts, stripped out the puppetry mechanisms, wired him up as a lamp, and added a color-changing LED smart bulb and some glass marbles for diffusion. Now he’s the sassiest light source in the house! Photo of a replica of Tom Servo from "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on a desk. His usually-empty globe-shape head has been filled with clear glass marbles. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e411beb8-e4e2-458f-9fd5-53a517e5cc5c.jpeg] As before, but his marble-filled globe head is lit up with green light. [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9afa91ba-6ffb-4a30-bc67-470db3106d2b.jpeg] The Servo Lamp installed on a shelf surrounded by other knicknacks, lighting up the room with bright white light.

I’ll get to that sometime. I’ve also posted this to Mastodon. [https://masto.hackers.town/@Rob_T_Firefly/115827558608903602]
