For the past few days, I've been in an ongoing

fellow who was my childhood PDP mentor 25 years ago; he runs a
service bureau and is working on a very flaky PDP-8/a that runs some
sort of manufacturing system.
I was shocked to learn of just how many of these systems are still
out there doing their jobs.
I suspect that the military also has a fair number of them. A couple
of years ago, I duplicated some RX02 floppies that were used in a rig
for maintaining C130 transports.
