It would be interesting to pop the case of the fake open and see what is
inside.

Subject: [TechAssist] TT- strikes again
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.
