I think Optonica was Sharp.

Yes it was Sharp. But I think it was contracted out to another company. Either in design or parts manufacturing.
Any who - Optonica's were Excellent stereos. That didn't happen by accident because there is a learning curve on design and production. So they seemed to either been a very quick learn or had help.

With all the vertical monopoly in Japan, it could have been a few companies. The arm on their turntables had sloppy bearings. I sold Optonica in the 80's.

If you ever come across a receiver or other electronic component snatch it up.
I don't know much about TT's. Only the cheap ones I always bought as a kid and the Gerrard my dad had that disappeared when my brother in law showed up (along with all the Dynaco stuff)
You're right. At that time I'm sure companies were all subsidiaries of other companies.
