Tayda potentiometers?

[Jopn]

There are plenty of high quality Asian vendors.  Tayda just isn't one of them.

Make no mistake, I still buy some things from them.  But I've run into many problems and there are some items I just won't buy from them again.  Every vendor has issues from time to time, but I've procured a lot of parts in my life (professionally and personally) and Tayda's rate of OOS parts (not just Alpha) is significantly higher than I've seen from anything outside of eBay.

Fair enough.  Hopefully I get a reply back from the email I sent Alpha to see if they'd confirm if they ship out unmarked seconds.  Any "brand name" that does this is no longer a "brand name" in my books...
