RE: [neonixie-l] Re: New source for parts- no minimum

2019-07-04 Thread Robert B Saltzman 
Tayda Electronics, Bangkok, Thailand.

 

>From what I can see…

 

· Doing business for over 10 years. 

· Seems quite reputable. Rated high at eHam.net. resellerratings.com 
rates at 9.7 out of 10. 

· Low prices – even for single items.

· Somewhat limited selection (depending upon your needs). There have 
been a few old complaints about some component quality.

· Web site and payment mechanism seem secure. SSL certificate is Amazon 
verified. Uses 128 bit TLS encryption with HTTPS connection.

· Web provides reasonably flexible shopping cart, account management, 
search, wishlist, order tracking, and return management functionality. 

· Total order minimum is $5. But no quantify minimum. Any number of 
individual discrete components (like resistors, capacitors) can be ordered.

· To make a purchase you must register by creating an account 
(providing at least full name and email address). Account password creation is 
security code protected.

· Remittance is via PayPal from the Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or 
American Express credit card of your choice. You do not have to log in to 
PayPal to do this.

· You cannot change your order after placing it, but it can be 
cancelled if not yet shipped.

· Shipping is from warehouses in Thailand, Singapore, and/or Colorado – 
usually within one business day.

· Very low standard 7 to 16 day delivery shipping charge (appears to be 
near cost). More expensive for DHL/UPS 2 to 4 day delivery, as expected.

· Packaging is in antistatic bags, as appropriate.

· 100% satisfaction guarantee. Returns accepted, with refund.

· Seemingly responsive customer service.

· “Contact us” is provided via a secured Web interface. Telephone 
number (not 800) and email address are also published.

· Discounts/coupons appear frequently on their Facebook page. e.g., 
currently 15% discount code (sale15) through 7/4. Appears that 15% discount is 
available most of the time.

· Ability to enter discount code appears on shopping cart order pages.

· Shipping options/cost calculated automatically from entered 
country/state/postal code information before checkout.

 

All in all, Tayda seems to be a really convenient, inexpensive, and safe parts 
source option for makers and hobbyists.

 

Note: I have absolutely no association with or personal interest in this 
company. Just intrigued by Martin’s find.

Hi Martin,

 

I see they are in Thailand, but it looks like they have a warehouse in 
Colorado. Thanks!

No problem Nick.

I am glad that it will be preserved.

If I come across any other interesting items, I will share them as well. (These 
are probably in an over-garage attic that is very cold right now - may have to 
wait until spring!)

Regards,
Bob

  Hello!


  It's been a couple of years since I found Neonixie forum at my hunt for nixie 
tube related knowledge. It helped me to find a lot of information and has 
connected me with many people who contributed to my "nixie tube resurrection" 
project. What was a hobby project at the beginning has turned into a serious 
fulltime work. I enjoy every day in the shop and would like to share the fun 
with you.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's for sale (again)

2011-06-26 Thread Robert B. Saltzman 
back in the early seventies I paid $1.98 for two B7971's along with 
controller circuit board and sockets, from Meshna Electronics, a surplus 
house in New England.
I bought four boards (eight tubes and sockets).  I wish that I had had 
the forethought to have purchased 100 of them!


Four tubes are in service in one of my Weisling Four Letter Word's.

Interestingly, the cost of two B7971s from that ad ($8.88) would be
(only) $35.26 today*. Amazing.

Those days are definitely gone...
