Well found another TT- component that is a fake. The TT-STK730-020 does not
work. I used several to repair a Panasonic 32" with each failing after 1 hour .
The regulator would get very hot after several minuets of operation and
thermally kill itself. The component looks almost identical to an original but
the plastic casing is uniform as opposed to slight irregularities in the
original. the fake is several grams lighter in weight than the original and you
can feel the difference by holding in your hand. Another difference is the fake
is more hollow sounding if tapped on a table than the original which seems more
solid. After installing an original from Electronica ,the set has worked fine
and the regulator is slightly warm to the touch after 10 minuets of operation.
Case closed.
