Anybody else see the new goodies at Tayda

[GermanCdn]

9 mm pots ($0.58 each), Marshall knobs (gold and silver), MXR knobs, and 10 mm LEDs.  Like I really needed another reason to place an order this weekend.

58 cent 9MMs? I'm mising those.

9 mm pots ($0.58 each)

These are the plastic external trim ones. They're 1.28 with the set screw and metal shaft. Good price, but they only have a handful of linear values, and the right angle pots aren't as useful as the pinned ones.

MXR knobs are kind of exciting, but be warned that on Tayda's clone knobs the color is slightly off -- especially the white. You can't mix and match them with the genuine article.

FAR more exciting:
$1.90 for a 10-pack of alligator clips, and a breadboard for $3.90!

Yeah, I was just excited to see they had some 9mm.  It's better for those of us who are hampered with higher shipping costs from Smallbear.  Figure if history is any indicator, if the ones they have now sell well they'll probably broaden their selection.  And yeah, the white knobs are never quite right, but I prefer the cream ones anyway.

Argh! Right after I made my order. I actually prefer the right angle pots for board mounting too. Well, I guess it's time to start bugging them to get the 11 detent version.

I have also noticed that the Tayda knobs tend to not match well with the actual Davies knobs or even the better quality knockoffs from Small Bear. I did order a couple of the MXR knobs though. I need one to replace a broken knob on my ancient Distortion +. So, I guess I'll have a pretty good idea of how well the match to decades old MXR knobs. But, I don't have any new production versions to compare with.

I'm actually working on a few 1590A projects with right angle 9mm pcb mounted pots. It's really helps to keep the wiring tidy! It does require bending the terminals on open frame 1/4" jacks but I think it will still make for an easier build...

The stereo low profile jacks, that look like the mono ones that bean used in the baby boards build doc, for 43 cents are what caught my attention.  I'll be curious to see if they are any good.

I want to go over to Singapore and give Tayda a hug.

Awesome, most awesome.

They are a little bit on the flimsy side and the nuts aren't the best, wouldn't make them my goto jack.  Best quality jack they have is still the stereo pcb mount ones.

They certainly make DIY in the uk a whole more affordable

Those stereo PCB mount ones are better quality then I can get here, at half the price!

If it wasn't for Tayda, a lot of offboard parts are either really expensive, or a 4 week plus wait to get them from the other side of the pond. I'm so grateful I found them, although my bank account isn't!

9mm pots, FINALLY! I can't believe how I missed them, I placed two orders on Saturday 8th, were they added right after or what?

I'm glad their 16mm pots I got instead (lots of fun for my 1590A builds!) are cheap, this won't be an expensive mistake. And let's hope they'll add more values soon! With their prices, shipping costs and frequent coupons, Tayda now looks like the best source for 9mm pots for European customers.

edit: just seen the full list... ok, provided they really add more values

An update on the MXR knobs, well, they are the mini MXR knobs. Don't know why I didn't think of that before ordering them, but they aren't gonna work for my old Distortion+. Oh well. As far as the quality goes and matching with the Eagle mini MXR knobs? Not so good there either. The markings on them are pretty crap and the flange is angled wrong, etc. They aren't unusable -- just not really very good.
