Help - Need 9.3 for Centos - recovery of legacy system

From

Need to get 9.3 to install to recover a legacy system.  We have a legacy system that experienced a hardware failure requiring a OS reload.  Have installed 9.6 as an interim step but it won't let me get to the 9.3 databases.

Am hoping to use the migration tools to get the 9.3 data dumped then reloaded into newer version.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks in advance

So you have the 9.3 data directories, but not the 9.3 binaries to use 
the them?

What OS and it's version?

Or you could build 9.3 from source:

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.3.25/

and then dump from the 9.3 running instance using the 9.6 pg_dump.

It would help if I read the subject. Still not sure of the version, but 
there are EOL versions available here:

https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php
