My oldest electric computer is a PDP 8/L, probably manufactured in 1969.

It was used to collect experimental data from high speed particle physics
experiments. Its in working condition, with a slightly flakey capacitor
that I'm told can cause the system to reboot if its been in use for a
long time.

I'm still looking for a paper tape punch unit to support this unit, as
it didnt come with any peripherals.
