I think there are long-term contracts with certain Big Customers (tm)
that preclude EOLing the 7507 and the 7513, else they would be EOL as
well.  Just a guess though.

The AGS+ was manufactured in small quantities for many years after
commercial sales for all intents and purposes ceased, to support these
same customers.
