I like quality gear regardless of where, when, how or by whom it was built. Advances in technology have made it possible for modern amps to duplicate the tones of eras past. They even have the ability to produce the tones that players were striving for and couldn't achieve back then. All in a lightweight, compact bundle. I love the feel of a broken in P bass, but realize not every one from the '70's is a good instrument. I like the tone of an SVT through a fridge, but if it can be done at the same volume through the PA I'd rather play that tone through a small combo.
"That '70's thing" is a marketing ploy used to manipulate potential buyers through nostalgia for an era many of those targeted never lived through.
