Another factor is that a half century ago, most of the equipment 
contained tubes which required periodic replacent.  Then things had 
to be aligned from time to time.  Other things needed 
troubleshooting.  Nowadays the solid state equipment is black box in 
nature.  You plug it in, connect the ins and the outs and it operates 
maintenance free for years.  It just ain't the same and it also 
provides no heat for the building.
