The 70s and 80s equipment has standard ICs and transisitors, so it is more serviceable by far than anything made later.
It gets much respect on this forum because it keeps going AND it's repairable by even jack-of-all trades techs like my self.
I enjoy tube equipment more but it requires maintenance and occasional repairs.

I have two once-wonderful Onkyo Integra series AV receivers from the 90s that have issues with protection shutdowns, a feature rarely found in the 1970s.
After checking ESR on capacitors and ribbon cable connectors, I haven't a clue, so they will sit until I join AK.......
