I just love the smell of the anti-fungal spray and the hum of warm
valves on those old radios!
There will always be ways and means to find parts for old equipment -
and the internet makes it easier to find them. No, you cannot walk into
a store and buy them, but that is is another sign of the times. I just
needed some rolls of hookup wire - instead of putting the snowshoes on
and traipsing through the snowdrifts, I just clicked on an Amazon button
and let their drivers worry about getting it to me!
But I want 600V hookup wire. Not every thing is less than 50 volts.
Solder with lead... Quad Electrostaic speakers ... New vinyl LPS ...

I suspect the big thing with retro projects, is that they are easy to
construct.
A radio needs wire, a diode , and more wire for the headpones.
A pi project has just pre-made PCB's and a solderless breadboad.
A 8 bit computer, some IC's and a chinese PCB.
