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

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!

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

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'm 31 and correctly answered all 15.
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.
Got 'em all . . .
It's either too easy or I'm too old.

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

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!
