Turntables that are still made in Japan?

No matter how many parts. I'm talking management strength and its ability to set expectations and hold quality accountable. Much easier in Japan with their culture. My Toyota reference was attempting to show the "Worlds Best" can even have issues outside of the familiar, strong Japanese work culture. I'm not saying Technics/Panasonic does not have that ability. It's just something to consider. World class turntables can be assembled by hobos living under a bridge if proper management is in place. 

@aberyclark ,

Got it. 

I've got a Technics SL-1200G that was built in Japan, though I'm sure that Malaysians can do just as good a job under Technics supervision...

Value electronics has 1200g’s in stock according to their website

Every Malaysian manufactured TT will be shipped at spec, eventually. But claiming that Malaysia can rival a steadfast Japanese manufacturing process straight out of the gate sounds bit over the top to me.
