Usagi Electric has given its Centurion computer a new place in the Usagi Museum—and a power-up on camera. In a video published on 1 November 2026, the machine becomes the centerpiece of a newly arranged “Wall of the 1980s,” alongside an NEC PC-8001 and a notably elaborate TI-99/4 setup.

The 28-minute tour is more than a shelf update. It places the Centurion among working-era machines from several generations: a Model 28 Teletype, an LGP-21, and other displays around the museum. The sequence lets viewers see the Centurion as a complete system, with its EDS-branded base unit, monitor and keyboard, before the on-camera power-up. It is a useful reminder that preservation is also about keeping the physical context of a computer visible, not just its software or circuit boards.

Watch Usagi Electric’s “The Centurion Joins the Usagi Museum!” for the full tour and demonstration. The video does not, by itself, establish that every part of the Centurion system has been restored to full operation.
