If nothing else, knobs, toggles, and slide potentiometers, in glorious brushed nickel on wood-tone. My current receiver is festooned with black buttons on a black case with light grey silkscreened text with an LED display bright enough to communicate with satellites. It's maddening.

Compared to modern equipment (or even most stuff that was made only a decade later), it's hard to overstate the incredibly solid, high quality 'feel' of every switch, knob and button on the thing. I know that sounds like overstatement and wishful memories of the good 'ol days, but it's not--that thing really was beautiful.
