Question: What is the birth date of this Austrialian entrepeneur who owned with his wife an Australia-wide chain of retail stores that sold consumer electronics goods, hobbyist electronic components, and electronic project kits?
Context: Consumer electronics or home electronics are electronic (analog or digital) equipments intended for everyday use, typically in private homes.  Consumer electronics include devices used for entertainment (flatscreen TVs, DVD players, video games, remote control cars, etc.), communications (telephones, cell phones, e-mail-capable laptops, etc.), and home-office activities (e.g., desktop computers, printers, paper shredders, etc.).  In British English, they are often called brown goods by producers and sellers, to distinguish them from "white goods" such as washing machines and refrigerators.  In the 2010s, this distinction is not always present in large big box consumer electronics stores, such as Best Buy, which sell both entertainment, communications, and home office devices and kitchen appliances such as refrigerators.  Consumer electronics stores differ from professional audio stores in that the former sells consumer-grade electronics for private use, whereas the latter sells professional-grade electronics designed for use by audio engineers and audio technicians. Crazy Clark's Discount Variety Store was an Australian company that operated over 150 discount Variety stores in its chain, across Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Western Australia.  The company also owned and operated a chain store called Go-Lo.  Crazy Clark's sold clothing, cosmetics, toys, homewares, electronics goods, gardenware, confectionery and more.  Crazy Clark's was the worldwide trademark owner of the Crazy Clark's logo and name with respect to retail stores.  It was a subsidiary of the Discount Superstores Group. Richard Harold Smith, AC (born 18 March 1944) is an Australian entrepreneur, businessman, record-breaking aviator, philanthropist, and political activist.  He is the founder of Dick Smith Electronics, Dick Smith Foods and Australian Geographic, and was selected as the 1986 Australian of the Year.  In 2010 he founded the media production company Smith&Nasht with the intention of producing films about global issues.  In 2015 he was awarded the Companion of the Order of Australia, and is a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. Dick Smith Holdings Limited (formerly Dick Smith, Dick Smith Electronics or DSE) was, until 2016, an Australia-wide chain of retail stores that sold consumer electronics goods, hobbyist electronic components, and electronic project kits.  The chain expanded successfully into New Zealand and unsuccessfully into several other countries.  The company was founded in Sydney in 1968 by Dick Smith and owned by him and his wife until they sold to Woolworths Limited in 1982.  The company closed in 2016, within several years of its acquisition by Anchorage Capital Partners. Comet Group Limited was an electrical retail chain trading in the United Kingdom, latterly owned by OpCapita.  The company sold consumer electronics and white goods, along with related products and services, and pioneered the concept of the out-of-town discount warehouse in the United Kingdom. In the 1960s, many hobbyist electronics magazines such as "Popular Electronics" and "Radio-Electronics" published construction articles, for many of which the author would arrange for a company to provide a kit of parts to build the project.  Daniel Meyer published several popular projects and successfully sold his kits.  He soon started selling kits for other authors such as Don Lancaster and Louis Garner.  Between 1967 and 1971 SWTPC sold kits for over 50 "Popular Electronics" articles.  Most of these kits were intended for audio use, such as hi-fi, utility amplifiers, and test equipment such as a function generator based on the Intersil ICL8038. Woodcraft Supply, LLC operates woodworking specialty retail stores across the United States (including 34 of 50 U.S. states).  It also publishes a woodworking industry magazine, distributes consumer catalogs (in all 50 U.S. states and 117 countries) and operates an ecommerce website.  The stores, catalogs and website combined sell about 20,000 products covering wood working tools, raw materials, instructional media and project kits. Here is a list of Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) Standards.  The EIA ceased operations on February 11, 2011, but the former sectors continue to serve the constituencies of EIA.  EIA designated ECA to continue to develop standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards.  All other electronic components standards are managed by their respective sectors.  ECA is expected to merge with the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA).  However, the EIA standards brand will continue for IP&E standards within ECIA.  As currently authorized, any ANSI standard designated at ANSI EIA-xxx is developed and/or managed by ECA (and, in the future, ECIA). Cromā is an Indian retail chain for consumer electronics and durables.

KEMET Corporation was set up in 1919 and now is based in Simpsonville, South Carolina.  The company produces many kinds of capacitors, such as tantalum, aluminum, multilayer ceramic, film, paper, polymer electrolytic, and supercapacitors. Capacitors are electronic components that store, filter, and regulate electrical energy and current flow.  As an essential passive component used in most circuit boards, capacitors are typically used for coupling, decoupling, filtering, oscillating and wave shaping and are used in communication systems, data processing equipment, personal computers, cellular phones, automotive electronic systems, defense and aerospace systems, consumer electronics, power management systems and many other electronic devices and systems (basically anything that plugs in or has a battery).  The company also manufacturers a variety of electronic components such as, AC line filters, EMI cores and filters, flex suppressors, relays, metal composite inductors, ferrite products, and transformers/magnetics.  The product line consists of nearly 5 million distinct part configurations distinguished by various attributes, such as dielectric (or insulating) material, configuration, encapsulation, capacitance (at various tolerances), voltage, performance characteristics and packaging.
