Here is a CL ad from madison wi, is what he is saying about Sansui TT's true?

:scratch2:...well, it does look an awful lot like several of the pioneer pl series. I wouldn't doubt one making it for others, it happened all the time. I'm not sure about this case, though. Perhaps another member can confirm it. That arm sure looks the part, that's for sure.

I think it more likely that both Pioneers and Sansuis were either made for them by CEC, or at least parts sourced from them. There is a reason so many japanese tables look similar, and that reason is CEC. There is a long standing tradition in Japan, and for all I know, everywhere else, of different products made with parts from a common source -- anyone who collects japanese twin lens reflex cameras knows this all too well...

Thanks for the info much appreciated. That was the first time I had heard that and thought it was odd. Makes sense now, thanks again.
