Yes. In fact, Charles Johnson has (among several others) a 1975 for sale:

I think they stopped regular production shortly after this. The Martin A's are very nice little mandolins, IMHO. Not at all suitable for bluegrass, but for anything else they're very sweet. They're light as a feather, play beautifully, and are very well made.
