I went to a ramen place in Tokyo and to order ramen you had to insert money and place your order via this machine. This felt like going back to the early 90s but in a way that we are definitely not used to in western countries. It had a very retro futuristic vibe!

Yes! There’s the vibe of course, but there’s also being able to open it up and fix it… if it even breaks at all.

Also, the satisfaction from opening up an old piece of tech and fixing it is just amazing. It sucks that a lot of stuff you buy nowadays is a single instance.
