I dug up an old 12" Sanyo. UL418 is a code for Sanyo, so the set is a Sanyo, or whoever UL418 belongs to built the Sanyo and the LXI. The Mexican Sanyo I found has a different UL code. In the old days, you could get some real bargains on VCR's by looking fo GE or MAgnavox or RCA with a UL code , 674??, which was Panasonic. Good mid line units. At one time RCA used 4 vendors with Hitachi building their top of the line units. Back then UL codes let you track a safety problem back to the manufacturer. Someone posted a list once, but I can't find it. It's like EIA codes could tell you who built the picture tube in a tv. RCA and Zenith did a lot of swapping in the old days on odd size color picture tubes.
