Darn tootin I can

and I aced it!

wOOt!

Who's your daddy?

 

[iheartmaytag]

Knew them all

. . .God I'm old. 

 

[DADoES]

 
LOL, those weren't much of a challenge.

 

[bluejay]

I got all but one. Not too shabby since a good portion of those were before my time.

 

[wayupnorth]

Got them all too. But wringer washers were used alot into the 60's at least, not just the 30's. Still got 2 dial phones like that, 8 tracks with a player for the Magnavox console, answering machine for the landline, boombox, typewriter somewhere in the attic and Grams old Maytag wringer that still works fine.

 

[twintubdexter]

it was easy but fun

It frightens me that there are people walking around that can't identify those things. I think if you get them all correct it means you are old...or in my case old! old! old!

One of you many creative members should develope a similar quiz for the Autowasher.org clan...

THIS IS

A. Part of a metal hip replacement.

B. The dicing blade for a Cuisinart food processor.

C. The solenoid assembly (nicknamed a wig-wag) from an early Whirlpool or Kenmore washer.

Easy C

I have the golden touch. I got all 15 right.

Yes, there are a lot of people out there that wouldn't get half of those questions right. I still get an occasional e-mail from my Dual website asking for instructions how to get a turntable to play a record. They want to know how you put the record on the unit!

Usually Millenials

 

[tolivac]

This old geezer got them right,too.Guess I pass the geezer test!

 

[washdaddy]

I missed the teletype. Oh well.....old enough and I don't need to be any older but can't stop that from happening.

 

[chachp]

I'm old too.

15 out of 15.  That was a walk down memory lane.   I can still remember the smell of the ditto machines. 

 

[arbilab]

Way too easy. On a good day I can tell a Rochester carburetor from a Holley, and rebuild both.

Bottom line, *I* am an obsolete technology.

Which pager was first please the" Bravo" as shown,  or the "Keynote"?  I remember having a "Keynote" linked to my voicemail @ work.  The hospital had them set up so they would beep for every voice mail, even if you where at your desk on the phone.  Very annoying.

I Goofed #5

Going to fast, I hit refrigerator instead of ice box.

Bwah, Bwah.

[countryford]

I'm 31 and correctly answered all 15.

 

[tomturbomatic]

Some of the years were off. I did not know about the gaming systems. I had no interest and still don't. I'd rather read if I am not cooking, doing laundry or doing something else I enjoy.

 

[hydralique]

Got 'em all . . .

It's either too easy or I'm too old.

 

[dirtybuck]

YAY!! I told myself if I got them all right I'd treat myself to Burger King after I get the car checked out. Does anybody want anything while I'm there?

 

[foraloysius]

All 15! And english is not my 1st language! lol

 

[fester]

Boom box

I actually owned that exact model boom box in the 80s. It was a high end model in it's day. Recorded and sounded great. Styx, Pat Travers, Thin Lizzy and several young ladies of low self esteem come to mind. Hoo Rah!

15/15...oy!   Love my Ditto machine...used it recently for an event and it really took people back down memory lane when they would hold the copies up to their noses and smell the alcohol (Methanol)  based fluid used in the process.

 

[kenwashesmonday]

I got the Atari video game wrong, must be too new for me.

 

Anyone for Pinball?

I only got 14!

I thought the icebox was a refrigerator and I picked the wrong option for teletype (never seen either of those in reality).

I only very vaguely remember pagers, I don't think I ever physically handled one. GSM mobile phones seemed to take over that function with text messaging earlier than the US where you still had 'two-way pagers' when we'd SMS in the 1990s.[this post was last edited: 10/3/2014-13:14]

That's a double-density floppy disk! How advanced is that?
