The durability of modern electronics is.. considerably better than old electronics. Consider this, I have a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim, it has all of its original electronics, all of which more or less work - not only that, I can keep going out and buying spares for it, its a 33 year old car. I think the restorability of old cars will be somewhat better than it might appear, because the supply chains exist to keep them alive in the long run. Old computers are another issue, because the supply chains for long term maintainability just.. dont exist - so you're left looking for gray market spares in weird places, hoping you can find oddball parts that were often used in one off designs.
