Treadwell Builders!
I've been trying to organize the Photos section so I can finally try
to get all the WED names correct. I moved a few images into some new
folders. Here's what I have so far:
(I'm basing all this info on internet sites like:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/wedtreadwell/index.html
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/WED_Treadwell_repair_droid)
WED-1016 - "Techie" Han Solo talks to this Treadwell In TESB.
WED-15 Septoid 2 - Treadwell with the spider-like arms.
WED-15-77 - Owen Lars owned this Treadwell for over 20 years.
WED-15-77 / George A. - George Adams WED-15-77 Treadwell.
WED-15-77 / Jongsma - John Jongsma WED-15-77 Treadwell.
WED-15-D3 - Cool! I like that Septoid 2 body with the WED-15-77 eyes.
WED-15-I662 - The Treadwell that was in the Sandcrawler in ANH.
WED-9-M1 - The Treadwell with the blue oval head and cylinder body.
OTHER INFO:
Treadwell on www.elstreeprops.com here:

This doesn't look like the exact Treadwell that was used for ANH. The
arms and eyes (etc.) are really different.
I think the picture of the Treadwell in the Star Wars Visual
Dictionary is printed backwards. This can really get confusing when
you're trying to figure out where the arms attach to the body. I
flipped the image in Photoshop and the correct image can be seen here:

e/bb9c (The image is called Treadwell)
I wonder if George Lucas based the look of a Treadwell on an overhead
projector!

Let me know what you think of all this.
Happy Treadwell Building!
