I Bought a PDP-11/83!

Merry Christmas y'all! The Centurion has a new Minicomputer friend in the house – a PDP-11/83! This was a sweet deal I was put on to by a Patreon member, Jon, and it took a little doing to get it home, but it’s here and it’s awesome. Well, it would be awesome if it wasn’t so filthy, so let’s get to cleaning!
