Philco Phorum back up...

...and I have no idea why it was down.

It's always scary when something "fixes" itself...

Philco Phorum is down; rest of site unaffected

As of 7:45 pm EDT this date, the PHILCO Phorum is down. I do not yet know the reason why, but I will be investigating...

Back up again.

Philcoradio.com came back up again sometime after my last post; all seems OK as of 9:44 pm EDT.

Philcoradio.com down; length of outage unknown

(8:38 PM EDT) Supposedly, it will take "15 to 45 minutes" for an administrator just to look at the server that Philcoradio.com is on. Then, I do not know how long it will take to fix the problem. Maybe minutes...maybe hours.

Please bear with me during this outage. Thank you.

Stewart Schooley's website now preserved on Philcoradio.com

The late Stewart Schooley presented a great technique for redoing a damaged photofinished cabinet.

His website, which outlines this technique, was in danger of being taken down.

Here's the old address, which will disappear on June 1, 2011:

http://pages.cthome.net/ptf/photofin/photoFinish.html

(EDIT: The link above is no longer any good - the old site has indeed been taken down, by AT&T.)

I am pleased to announce that Stewart's site is being preserved on Philcoradio.com.

http://www.philcoradio.com/schooley/

The pages will load faster now if you are on dialup, also.

Changes are coming

Here is what has been going on for the past several weeks:

I have been very busy performing a complete overhaul of my website, Philcoradio.com. Pages that have been promised for years have finally been built. At last, sections covering auto radios as well as Philcos in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere in the world will be available. New pages are being added to The Philco Radio Gallery as well.

Every page will have a consistent look and feel. Also, instead of a single "Search" page, every page will have a small search box at the upper right-hand corner, so you will be able to search the site from anywhere within the site.

The work is nearing completion, and it is my intention to make the new and improved site "live" next month.

I will warn you that if you are still using very old browsers, the site may not display correctly. However, I decided that it was more important to join the 21st century and build the site to be compliant with current XHTML and CSS standards.

And I am glad to report that, unlike a lot of "new and improved" websites, Philcoradio.com will not use any Flash, nor do I plan to utilize Flash in the immediate future on my website.

In conjunction with the upcoming debut of this new and improved website, I am considering changing the look of the Philco Phorum.

No firm decision has been made in this regard, but I am thinking about it. Should I decide to do this, I will give you a "heads up" here before it happens.

Thanks for your support.
