Good luck everybody—submit your answers in the comments below with each guess numbered and on its own line. The results will be revealed in a couple days. (would you believe me if I said the winner gets a prize?)
Of course they do! Would I lie? (You can't be a winner if you don't win anything, can you?) The person who guesses the most correctly, and by correct I mean guessing brand and a general model range idea (half points given out for the correct brand but missing or incorrect model/range) will win a pack of the typosphere post cards Rob Bowker printed out last year.

Sometimes the shape of a return lever instantly gives it away, but sometimes I’m stumped. I wonder whether you deliberately put the hardest ones last!
I looked at Scott's answers after completing mine. It's funny how much we differ! But there's one that he got right, I'm sure of it, which stumped me.
DeleteI thought I was putting the easy ones last, as a respite from previous challenges!
