According to the Wikipedia thing athttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Smith_Electronics:
Ultimately owned by Woolworths Limited
Key people Alvin Ng (General Manager)
Dick Smith (until 1982)
Which seems to mean that the answer to your question is "Not since
1982". :-(
Yes, even after 25 years we STILL get people going on about how DSE
has gone down hill since Dick himself left, as if it were yesterday,
or last week, or last month, or last year, or last decade!
*yawn*
