> Nobody's building fabs for CPUs like the MOS 6507 which only have 3,218 transistors in total (seriously).

But you can still buy 6502 compatibles built on other technologies and processes, right? (Not sure if you can get them in DIP but still.) Differences in voltage levels are bound to cause changes, but jumping straight to emulation seems excessive (even if it’s probably actually easier).

You can still buy 65C02 chips (DIP, CMOS version) from Western Design Center [1]. I've bought a few in recent years.
