Being in the air force I have the dubious privilege of getting to maintain some old ass-technology. Radar being amongst my favourites. We've since upgraded to comparatively modern technology (digital!) and gotten rid of most of the vacuum tubes but I still have a special dark place in my heart for the old mixed signal system running on CRTs, wire wrapped boards, tapes, and core memory. Interestingly while the new system is much nicer to work with, much better resolution and features I didn't think were possible. The old system had power, and lots of it, and sometimes power is what you need.
