Birdhaven is now using a mixture of its Texas T Parts purchase as a business model and the web-site carries the Texas T Parts name with the Birdhaven name for customer recognition. The Fun Projects web-site and name that they purchased from John Regan has been shut down but they still have the rights to produce the items that John developed.

The IC chip that was used in the regulator was obsoleted by Texas Instruments some time ago. I'm sure it was being produced by some company in China and most folks have likely heard of the problems with getting memory chips from China. If they can't get chips then they can't produce the regulators till they do. If they fall on hard times as a company then it's anyones guess about whether they can survive it or not.
