Video: Thingamagoop alarm clock mod haunts your dreams, wakes you to its nightmare

Remember Thingamagoop, the little synth monster controlled by light thanks to the photocell governing the main oscillator? Well, this alarm clock mod requires a 9-volt DC jack and adapter, switch SPDT, and some audio cable and wire to bring it all together. A few snips and solder burns later and voila, the monster Moog alarm clock is born. Man, robots... synthesizers... it's like the ultimate nerd sub-cult. Video after the break, detailed hacking instructions on the other side of that read link.

P.S. Yes, he has throw-switch nipples and a uh, knob.

Holy cr*p! That was a real waker-upper. Where's the "view in Engadget Classic format" button. It's too new and too much white space for me haha.

When R2D2 gets home he's going to be upset with what you've done with his kid

I lurve my Neverlate Executive! Giving my Neverlate a little monster pet seems somehow exquisitely fitting.

That video truly was the "epitome of excitement".

That would not wake me up, my alarm clock sounds way worse. Plus I have 4 alarms to get me up. Yeah, that's how much I dislike my job.
