Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss?

and why ?
I miss reel to reel decks and top Nakamichi decks. Also, made in the West tubes. It's obvious why.

Serial number 0001. How's that for rarity! It is indeed an amp deserving of resurrection! All sound - no bling (unlike present day high end gear!).
