My Tom Servo lamp [OC]

I had a puppet replica of Tom Servo which I built 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!

As before, but his marble-filled globe head is lit up with green light. The Servo Lamp installed on a shelf surrounded by other knicknacks, lighting up the room with bright white light.

All that remains is to clean up his old chipped paint job a little. I'll get to that sometime.

I've also posted this to Mastodon.
