Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

A thread for stupid pedal-building questions.

I'll ask mine:
What's up with the tooth lock washers that come with 3pdt?. Do people use them? I use them (right up against the enclosure) only because they come with it, but also feel they don't add much value--the few times I forgot to put them in there weren't any ill effects.

Those little lock washers on the 3pdt I've forgotten to include a few times and never noticed a big enough issue to take the pedal back apart. I try to use them because I don't see any downside and just the potential upside of the switch not loosening prematurely. I think they are more important for jacks because I've actually had jacks come loose.

How do you pronounce Tayda?

I have never considered this, I've always said it like "Tay Duh" but now I could totally see it being like "Tie Dah"

This is my conundrum. Tah-E-Dah?

Why are those white nylon washers so tasty, why do they have to attach them to the 3dpt switch. Looks like they would put them in their own bag.

I’m settling with tah-dah cause everytime I make an order TAH-DAH I forgot something

The only people I ever mention Tayda to are online, so I've never had to say it aloud.

My question is why are the washers not digestable? Passing them is such pain.

When did PayPal start charging an “international fee” for ordering from Tayda/international board suppliers

That must be very new. PayPal has charged fees for international transactions with friends and families in the past, but it's very strange to see a customer get hit with an 'international' fee for a goods and services payment.

When did they indeed

I didn't see any fee in my last order (July). If so, this must be very new.

 

[Diynot]

I’ve noticed it for my last 2 Tayda orders in June and July. I can’t find them on the paypal invoices at the moment so maybe it’s just my bank, but was sure I had seen it posted on paypal
Edit: Looks to be a possible currency conversion fee
