Ho Seeker Access Issue
Posted by cedarwoodron on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 12:16 PM

So, one of my winter projects will be to revitalize an old Mantua 0-4-0 shifter and tender. You know this old chestnut- the one with the metal boiler and the brass-wheels on the sloped tender!

I figure my best starting place is an original diagram and go to HO Seeker to look up the original drawing. Imagine my suprise when I select the Mantua 0-4-0 shifter and get "permission denied" as a response. I then try the Tyco category for their 0-4-0 and get the same thing.

Is it some setting on my phone or is there a problem with the HO Seeker site in general ??

And if so, how could I get an exploded assembly diagram alternatively?

I just went to the site and everything seems to be functioning properly.

I'm using an old fashioned desktop PC running Windows and Chrome. I don't know how to change security settings on a telephone.

If you don't have any other resource, send me a PM and I can scan the diagrams and send them to you?

Good Luck, Ed

Thanks Ed- first I'll try things on my desktop computer and see if it's working. If not you'll hear from me!Smile

Use this link: http://hoseeker.net/   You can't get in if you use other deeper links.

That always works.

To date, no one can post any other diagram. I and others have found that out. Here and other forums.

All you can do is do a screen shot with your PC and then post the photo here with say Photo Bucket.

I use to text the administrator, Larry, some years ago but he no longer responds.I sent in scans back then.

It might be all A.I., artificial intelligence software operated.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

For reasons I can't understand that link stopped working for me but I now use this one and go "backwards" if there are other parts of the site I want to visit:

That's because the website was changed from a .net to a .org.
 
So what you want is: http://hoseeker.org/

Thank you. My bookmark is net. I never noticed that little change.

The site still shows hoseekernet, upper left.
