tim: i actually haven't had that issue with tayda, as i have a source i grabbed 1000 1n34a and 1000 1N60, and 500 1N270 diodes so i haven't tried any from tayda in awhile.
distraughtman: not saying you're lucky or wrong, they may have cleaned up their act over the years. i had 2 or 3 orders a few years ago, probably 5 or so that the same thing happened so i just wrote them off.
beaker: totally agree. unfortunately since this is a thread and not a topic i can't add that to the top, as much as i want to. i'm thinking of starting a golden rules thread in the library section for the new guys that we could add all our golden rules and R.G. Keens, which are like the 10 commandments of pedal building. lol. i'll bold it in my post though, since i'm sure this will get rather large and make it one of the first things people see.
i also follow the golden rule with chinese sellers of IC's and transistors that if i haven't dealt with them before and their seller rating is bellow 99.5% i don't trust them. seems extreme, but i'm just super cautious even with in production parts. keep in mind too that a lot of the chinese sellers on ebay have multiple stores with different names so it can be hard to weed them out. hell people have ordered the super common and available TL072 ICs from sellers like polida where it's just too damn cheap and they chips are DOA, burn up, just don't function, and even relabeled parts. the crazy to think that a profit can be made on parts so cheap that have been relabeled.
