OK, Here is the situation.
We (Component-Shop) bought Action Electronics from Dave & Liz Milbourn in 2012 as they wished to retire. For a couple of years afterwards, Dave helped us out at some of the shows & until last year was also helping out with some of the repairs & assembly. Basically when he sold Action to us he turned it back into a hobby, which occupied a few hours each week, rather than being full-time, something that Dave was much happier about.As far as the future of Action Electronics is concened, it is long & bright, there are many projects planned which you will see in the coming months. We are also in the process of updating many old favourites. For instance the switchers, these were traditionally supplied with a box that had to be cut for the wires to enter, they are now supplied in a custom 3D printed case with no cutting required. They can also now be used on a wide range of different receiver voltages, which was a limitation of the original units. The core electronics is still the same though, after all, why fix what isn't broken.
So there you have it, direct from the horse's mouth. Action Electronics is going strong & will continue for the forseeable future.
I shall miss Dave terribly, quite apart from the odd bits of work he did for us, he was a good friend. Truly, there was no-one quite like Dave.
