How many PRR signals(meaning the ones with the lights in a circle) are still in operation today? I know of one set that are. On the NEC past New Rochelle Junction are still operating PRR signals.

Any new interlocking work will most likely be done with Type G color lights or something other then the legendary position lights.New postion light signals are not hard to come by. Amtrak still purchases new color postion light signals and Septa has replaced PRR position light signals in kind with brand new amber position light signals at Arsenal and Zoo interlockings
As it stands now the LIRR is still a Position Light strong hold. Most location have Position Lights even some old PRR style signal bridges still in service.
consider parts of Main line Color light after the 3rd track goes in. Montauk will soon be all color. Except Babylon (till its rebuilt and Valley which has new Position Lights on the modern pipe bridges.)
The PRR signals at Harold will probably be replaced with color lights after the East Side Access work is completed.
How true is the statement that the components to the Position Light signal system are almost impossible to find and are more expensive then the off the shelf color lights?
