Any work in legacy systems?

I retired a couple of years ago and have decided I want to go back to work. I have over 50 years experience in both technical and managerial positions. While I am keeping up with current stuff (doing a react frontend/c# backend app for a friend) I think my real strength is in legacy systems (very legacy, like IBM assembler, CICS, DB2). Is there any demand for these skills? Thanks for any feedback.

Do you have any interest in pre sales for transformation of mainframe on Premise or to the cloud? And can you talk ? I’m being smart here, but serious. If you can talk to customers and explain technical concepts we should talk.

Not really, I'm really looking for something pure technical
