Can anyone tell me if Robin is still servicing the combro units?

He did a few weeks back according to a post on another forum .
I've messaged Robin on his website but never got a reply. I'm not going to send my combro if he's folded the business up.
Anyone else servicing them?

To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
Update... I've called... No answer. Text... No answer. Email.... No Answer.
I'm guessing combro is no more? Sad because Robin has always been spot on in the past.

That can't be good. Like I say I emailed and called using the numbers from his website. Nothing came back.
I did read something about him having to wait before he put the new model out but had all the bits ready to I cant remember the full reason but I read it after someone was asking the same about him doing a repair
Why are you ignoring me?
Are you sending emails and texts but not getting a reply? Robin has never sent a text in his life and is probably too old to learn. To get your emails white listed by our spam filter use words like cb-625 chronoscope and airgun. Perhaps you cannot receive replies. When emailing to complain about not getting a reply why not include a telephone number or a postal address? If in doubt, 'phone 01323 899950.
I copied the above off his website if its of any use..
hope he is still in business I'll admit to shooting 2 of mine up over the years

I had it all planned out, unregister for VAT, sell the remaining stock, buy tools and materials for a new improved model.
I unregistered at the HMCE web site, effective 5/4/20
I then sold £22k worth of chronoscopes
I went to fill in my last VAT return and they had forgotten I had unregistered.
I rang them up. She said, no problem, fill in the form and tell them to unregister you as of 31/3/20 or you will have to do all of April.
Okay says I and made a huge mistake by doing what she told me to do.
They unregistered me as of 5/7/20. Meaning I had to pay them £4k of my £22k but I could not reclaim the VAT on the tooling.
Since then I ring them up, they tell me all I have to do is write in and they will fix it. Then I wait 5 weeks to be told they cannot do it.
I have piles of chronoscopes but bu66ered if i will sell them until this is sorted out and I am VAT unregistered.
My accountant thinks he may have better luck, he's having a go.
I think there is a problem with the new HMCE computer, if I could prove I had unregistered they would allow it.
I could go on...

Got him on the land line number above. All is well and he's still servicing and repairing them 😀
