The Schedule 13D of Gregory L. Horton dated March 8, 1996 and filed with the 
Commission relative to the common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common 
Stock"), of DDL Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is 
hereby amended in the following respects:



Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

      Mr. Horton is the record and beneficial holder of 1,000,000 shares of 
Common Stock (the "Shares"), representing approximately 4.3% of all common 
Stock outstanding on the date hereof.  He has neither acquired or disposed of 
any Common Stock since January 12, 1996, which was the date on which he 
acquired the Shares.  This Amendment No. 1 (constituting the Final Amendment 
to Mr. Horton's Schedule 13D) has been filed with the Commission out of an 
abundance of caution solely to reflect diminution in the percentage of Common 
Stock outstanding represented by the Shares due to other Common Stock 
issuances by the Company.  The date on which Mr. Horton ceased to be the 
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock outstanding was 
March 14, 1996.


                                     SIGNATURE

      After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I 
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and 
correct.


 September 10, 1996                     /s/ Gregory L. Horton
