Retro gaming enthusiasts have been creating mini-PCs first starting with industrial computers (386) built for CNC machines, and have recently been getting custom PCBs made like the Pixel x86: https://youtu.be/B8WfiRRvQXo?si=lbDZymYKATkT66pf
I guess these systems are certified, so changing the hardware with a platform that is basically an emulation (based on the first video) requires re-certification. At that point, changing the entire system to something more modern seems like the better option.

You can find some oddball stuff on AliExpress that’s probably made to replace as close as possible 1to1 EOL equipment: https://youtu.be/6bODiZ5bP84?si=GTwF6MOQqm_VLy4s
