I love it when I can still repair or modify a piece of gear. The large physical size and relative simplicity of older gear makes a big difference for that, especially for home users. And then there's the whole thing where a lot of newer stuff is just glued together, so you can't even access the insides without expert knowledge.

Back when I was making chip music, the original Game Boy was all the rage, despite the shitty display.
