Yeah, that's the thing. Pressing a piece of plastic with some sharp grooves in it is one thing, but once you get into TVs or magnetic storage things get hard pretty fast.

And since most of that is digital anyway you can instead make a cheap adaptor to use a modern solid state device that will do the same job objectively better. There's just no upside to it beyond nostalgia.
