What kind of system are you eyeing that wouldn't work with modern interface devices?
An actual vintage console? One that requires a CRT?

What's wrong with emulation?
I hooked up a raspberry pi 4 with RetroPie and it has a few "filters" that even emulate the CRT look and feel on these new LCD type of displays. I got some cheap ish genuine second hand xbox360 controllers off eBay and a usb adapter from AliExpress for the wireless bit and they work fine.
It plays great and I can always add more games via WiFi.
Also, emulators allow save state which makes getting through games a bit easier and faster.
