"If you are looking for ICs or JFETS follow this Golden Rule:
Do not buy any out of production ICs or JFETS from any seller in China - you will almost certainly end up with a useless fake."

also:  don't buy 1n34a (and probably other "germanium" diodes) from tayda or other chinese sellers as they are probably "work-a-likes" and not germanium.
