Deja Vu? Vintage Centurion Website
 

Anyone been to Vintage-Centurion.com lately? I was looking up info on a Centurion RS Elite that popped up on CL and the site didn't load. The Wayback Machine site shows their last captured image in mid 2022. Are we reliving the Vintage Trek Website debacle?

I was looking for Centurion data about two weeks ago... and the site search on Google ran me into a "can't load that" screen. I was hopeful that it was a lapsed security measure or something....

I noticed a few weeks ago.

Whois says the domain expired in February.

Is this one worth retrieving from the Wayback Machine? I can point my WM crawler at it.

I noticed this a few days ago too :(, can anyone revive this website?

I'll take a look, though it might be a couple days before I get to it.

That's @fleslider's site. He doesn't seem to have been around here since last November.

Thanks. I sent him a message.

I never heard back, so began reconstituting the website based on Wayback Machine contents. The path forward has been littered with small problems, but I'm getting close. I am looking for scans of three catalogs which were apparently corrupted during crawling: 1974, 1978, 1983. If you have PDF scans of any of those catalogs, I'd appreciate it.

I have this on my PC as the 1978 catalog

Also, on fleaBay, a previously unseen1970s catalog. This one wasn't on the website.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll work on filling in the gaps. Does anybody have a way to contact fleslider outside of BF PMs? I'm hesitant to step on someone's virtual toes. Hopefully, copyright issues are no problem.

I have a gmail address from when I sent him the '83 pdf. I will bf pm it to you.

Trying to track down copies of the missing Centurion catalogs, I found this site:

https://centurion.us.to/

Does anybody know whose work this is? It appears to be an exact replica of the original site. In addition, the catalog PDFs which are corrupt on the Wayback Machine appear to be intact. Had I known it existed, I wouldn't have bothered expending effort to reconstitute vintage-centurion.com.

Hey All, I Apologize for the gap in the site. the link Skip put up is the other domain the site is using .
https://centurion.us.to/

Had some issues with the domain vintage-centurion.com, working on implementing vintagecenturion.com it has been a change ive been wanting to do, so guess this is the time. i will update as we move along but you can get to it by the previously mentioned address. There are some updates planned soon .

Its good to know that others use the site , wasn't sure if i was just doing the site for my use

Quick update.
Its now available at vintagecenturion.com
