To my knowledge, Sanyo made magnet-set modules for Mercury and Sears [all identical]. Their internal construction, however, is very different from the ones Time Computer built [but they do, strangely enough, use the same setting magnet as the Dress, Ladies' Pulsar, and P4]. No P4 modules were ever made by Sanyo; those all came off of Time Computer assembly lines. The only Sanyo-TC connection is the display for the Emerald Green Dress watch; the rest of the module is pure Time Computer [those same green displays also showed up in 2 rare CompuChron models [and maybe the Sears; I have never had the chance to directly inspect and compare them, but I suspect they are Sanyo, also].
