yes - back then it was easy to believe that someone built a time machine out of a Delorian. Nowadays? I’m skeptical af.
What I’m getting at is all about how we interact with technology these days and how it informs the audience’s suspension of disbelief.
In 1985, any tinkerer could fix the rabbit ears on a CRT TV. These days you have to call in a technician to fix your TV or turn it in for a new one.
We’re no longer a DIY culture. The audience is not going to easily suspend their disbelief when most people know that electronics are easily brickable nowadays so where is Doc going to get the parts?

Salvaging parts from bricked devices. Home brew shite using Raspberry Pi style devices. Having a supply of older analog devices that can be used as part of something else.
There are entire home brew channels on YouTube of people turning broken appliances into all kinds of crap, so Doc making a time machine out of a Prius or an Aztek isn’t necessarily a huge leap.
