- Actually, the Pioneer ones seem to be the winner, in that they are most
- commonly used and available even at places like Radio Shack. A third
- "standard" was the one previously used by Sansui/Kenwood, but newer
- Kenwood changers seem to have switched to the JVC type and I don't thin
- Sansui is making any catridge changers now.
-
- The Sansui ones are much like the Pioneer version, but not compatible.
- The identifying symbol seems to be 6 slashes ////// instead of the
- overlapping circles.
