Vintage Radio and Electronics

Looking at this very useful site 2 days ago I noticed that after a short time it became unavailable “server cannot be found”. I’ve written to Maurice the owner but this site has not been updated for a long time so I fear the worst!

Typical, it went before I could download the gen on the Codar Mini Clipper! I’m left with the front page on the Clipper but cannot access the visible data.

Hi Peter, Yes "Site unavailable" for me as well. Unfortunately possibly the sign of things to come.

Unfortunately they don't seem to have archived the next level down.

No joy here either.

Hi.

No luck here either.

I was wondering if that was one of the Yahoo groups run my Maurice Woodhead which originally started back in the early 2000s.

Edit: Just noticed wd40addict's link to the wayback machine and noticed it was the site run by Maurice

Sadly my email to Maurice was rejected:

30 Sorry, your message to mauricewoodhead@xxxxx cannot be delivered. This mailbox is disabled (554.30).

Sorry, I don’t know where he lives(ed).

Thanks very much Mick for your information from the site on the Mini Clipper, just what I wanted!

The site was a useful one and I have looked at it many times over the years.

A sign of the times…..

That's a shame that the site seems to have gone. I was originally a member of Maurice's site and the other associated radioconstructors sites run by Geoff Brown. I used to upload radio circuits to the groups mostly from the RC and PW magazines. Hard to believe that was started over twenty years ago, how time flies! It was a pity the Yahoo groups ceased.

Nick, sorry, I don't know where Maurice lives but ought to as I think I sent him a component or two. It was a long time back so my memory may be playing tricks.

Regards,
Symon

The domain registration still seems to be extant; however it doesn't seem to have anything associated with it.
