I suppose you have to know what the different types of lottery tickets you can buy are--the interface doesn't really tell you.

Tomy - Leonardo's Pizza Vault Pocket Game
Low tech and bizarre controls.
Monroe Adding Calculator
Interesting that clear ("enter") buttons are often on the right.
Home Pong Game
Kodak Cine - Lense and Adjustment
The front of an antique movie camera. Check out the amount of instructions made into a label.
1970s Calculator: Elka 103
A rare Bulgarian made calculator, with soviet components inside. The M button means it has some sort of memory...
Sinclair ZX81 Keys
This was my first computer (albeit a "Timex Sinclair" in the US.
Olympia RAE4-15
Canon Canola1614P
I love the font on the display numbers.
The Organ at Heinz Chapel
I love how no part of the organist's body is neglected: all limbs can work at once.
Old Console
At the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum.
Big Buttons
Beer Control

2BA Cockpit and Panel
Amazing how stripped down a glider's controls are compared to a jet's.
Mini Cooper Gauges
Lights Controls on an Organ
From the description: This is a pull-out panel on the left side of the organ console. The numbered buttons are a control panel for the sanctuary's light system, allowing the organist to control the lights from the organ console.
GVG 200 Control Panel
A video production switcher. I love the "Fail-Safe" feel of this panel, with its differently lit buttons.
Missile Silo Monitoring Station
Check out the Titan Missile diagram. Also: I see a rotary phone dialer, but where is the handset?
Bathtub Control Panel
In Japan of course. From a comment: "Once you've selected the temperature and the tub volume, press the two bottom buttons and plug up the bath. 10-15 minutes later, your bath has been perfectly drawn."
