Need help with a few parts
- Thread starter Mourguitars
- Start date
With things like resistors and electrolytic caps I generally buy them in lots of 50 or 100 at a time from Tayda because they are so cheap. You end up with a stock of parts so that you generally have everything you need for a new pedal. For C25K pots I buy them in lots of 50 from Mouser because I do use quite a few and Tayda don't stock them. So while I'm on the Mouser website I'll buy enough Hammond 1590B enclosures to get free shipping.
One thing I have found is that the Hammond enclosures are easier to drill than the enclosures you get from Tayda. And I really like the texture black finish I can get from Hammond. Oh, and the other things I get from Mouser are the Switchcraft jacks. I'm not going to use cheaper jacks - it's just not worth it.

What is up with Mammoth, I've always had good service from them, last order I finally cancelled and ordered elsewhere because weeks went by without a peep, I've placed another order with them and looks like the same thing, not a word, but there quick to hit my Paypal account

Thanks for the heads up Barry..I'll give them a chance . Bought those magic diodes for the queen of bone 2 from a guy off eBay that has a good rep but i had to send a nice "hey what's up " message then he shipped took forever...If they dont ship Mouser has those pots but i like to help the little guy first when buying...

If you have a delay I’d email them. I heard nothing for about 2 weeks and emailed. They were holding up the order for a single component that was out of stock. They ended up shipping it minus that piece. But it’s annoying. I used to always go to Mammoth first but after that experience (twice) I usually go with Tayda. It’s kind of sad I can get stuff quicker from Thailand than Oklahoma. Glad Tayda has PedalPCB enclosures now too!

Same thing happened with me, 1N34As were out of stock, holding up the order. Ended up cancelling that line item and bought them from Tayda. They've been having some sales recently and I think they were deluged with orders. I get the impression it's a pretty small outfit. I still buy from them. DigiKey is the fastest, but also the most expensive. It's good to have options.

I dunno about amazon cuz I don’t use it but I’d imagine searching for a “64 bin parts storage” or something like that should work. Get one big one with all tiny drawers and one of the ones that’s half tiny drawers and half bigger size ones. Good start anyway 
Also I am jealous you get your Tayda orders in 3 days. The only way that happens for me is if I choose the express shipping but I’m not a fan of the brokerage fees DHL wants for it.

Huh, must be a Canada thing. I’ve done it several times on sub-100$ orders and been nailed with a 30-40 dollar charge on top.
Wait...doesn’t Tayda have a US warehouse now? That’s probably why, mine always come from the Thai location.
