Some years ago, I had the opportunity to see an actual Mercury space capsule up close. I looked into the astronaut's cockpit and was surprised by how relatively primative the technology used at the time was compared with today. Granted, the Voyager was launched about a decade and a half after the first Mercury launches, but the techology was still "sticks and stones" compared to now. The continued operation of the Voyagers is a monument and tribute to the quality and genius of those early engineers and scientists...
