"(More parts = more fun.)"
You must miss the days when tag strip construction was the norm. I prefer the equipment to be smaller than the room it has to fit in. I also prefer to be able to lift it. My first commercial RX was an AR-88D and it almost failed both tests.
Highly integrated circuits have done wonders for equipment capability, size, and weight. Can you imagine doing DSP with 1960's technology? A low power computer filled a large room in those days - lots of parts though.
