Smart Signals recently fixed a little problem (loose wire) on my set, and I happened to call Smart Signals today. I mentioned the rumor of a sale, and they assured me the company was not being sold. What is happening is they are partnering with, not selling to, a company that makes LED lights so that production will increase and lead times won’t be so great. They are in the early stages as a new company and experiencing the growing pains associated with a popular product.
I’d cut ‘em some slack. Remember, Henry was about six months on back-orders for the new Model A.
BTW, I am not associated with Smart Signals in any way beyond being a happy customer. And I really mean that happy part: I love these signals!
