  • Is Classic Home Cinema still in business - No website for the last week

    For the last week I have been trying to go to Classic Home Cinemas (Phil Shearer) and it appears it has been taken down. Hope nothing has happened to Phil and Classic. Thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone had any information.

    Thanks

    As far as I know all is OK there.

    Best Mark.

      I just ordered some things from him recently and he made no mention to me when we spoke that any changes were upcoming.

          I just tried it and it was a dead end. I hope it is redesigned in some way as I found it was quite off putting.

            I believe the whole system was giving him problems doing updates. I suspect it was outdated and will be replaced by an easier to use one with much better looks and easier to navigate.

                Hi Ken, the correct spelling of Phil's last name is Sheard. Looking forward to his new Website.

                  I just remembered that the original problem he had was that updates involved using Flash, which has been discontinued and I assume the new web site design will be free of that and can be updated with greater ease and possibly more regularly.

                      Their latest Facebook entry:



                      Classic Home Cinema


                      December8at1:53PM ยท



                      THE CLASSIC HOME CINEMA website is DOWN at the moment. It will return in a few days with a BRAND NEW site, with all the bells & whistles, do keep an eye out for it.

                      As they have announced in the last email that there will be January sale I assume all is OK.

                        I wanted to send out a Merry Christmas message to all of the collectors, buyers and sellers, and to anyone who have it in their hearts to keep the Super 8 cinema alive. And best wishes for the new year! A special thanks to Phil for his dedication and service and to CHC. Where would we be without them? No worries.
                        We will see them again in the New Year. A special mention to Steve, Alex , Bert, Dave, Joe and Paul for making collecting something special.
                        Happy Holidays to all !

                            That's heaps better than his old site. Very cool update and moving forward into 2022.

                              I'll have to go to my other machine to see it. Firefox on this one is "out of date" and Chrome states my clock is head and won't connect (it doesn't say what time it is expecting) and the update time button doesn't work.
