A friend of mine is restoring an OLD Marantz tuner. I was at his place recently, and saw it. Wow, what a maze of resistors, caps, etc. He's determined to "make it go", and has the skills necessary to do it. But holy moly, what a project! I have a photo of it, but it would give y'all nightmares.
I, on the other hand, have more mundane issues. An Integra CD carousel changer where the laser sled don't slide. An H-K 505 with crackling knobs and switches. A Sony combo CD/VCR where the CD drawer won't open (fortunately, I like Mozart's Eine Kleine Night Music, which is in the tray). A Tascam 44 with a pinch roller that won't pinch. None of these are boat anchor issues... I just haven't found a roundtuit to help get me started.
Several years ago, I donated an HP Laserjet Series II to Goodwill, and took a $50 tax deduction, which kinda sucks since it cost me $1,500 new.
