Apparently there is a new Philco Repair Bench found at https://philcoradio.com/repairbench/ When I try to go to order a schematic packet from this site I get blocked. Has anyone tried this? Picture is what I see when I'm blocked.

I am sure this is the archive, and not the Chuck's site.

I tried accessing the site through our library and got the same response. It's reported to our tech gurus. Gary

As far as I know, the Repairbench does not work, and has not been working in a while.
Chuck (we had that campaign looking for him a while ago) replied to someone he was OK, had some medical issues, but as for the website, I guess, it is on the back burner.

Morzh is correct. The repair bench on our website is an archived image of chuck’s original site. He no longer provides schematics or maintains the site. We need to make that clearer to viewers, thanks dcoant for pointing that out. FYI clear schematics are available in our library at https://philcoradio.com/library/
Cheers,
Bob
