Turntables that are still made in Japan?

Technics even moved their high end decks to Malaysia as well. 

I'll have to keep an eye out. A DD, made in Japan Luxman would be ideal if not too pricey (above $10k)

I’ll be curious to see reviews of Malaysia units. I would not be worried about the engineering aspect of the TT. As a former Manufacturing Manager, the big worries with much of the overseas assembly (In my case Mexico) was more to do with assembly tolerances. Are screws tight enough, pieces aligned properly, quality checks, Fit and finish, defective components thrown out and not used, etc. From my experience, missing internal screws and washers were the biggie. A part needed 4 screws, only two or 3 were used. Enough to hold the part in place for a while, but more likely to come loose over time. Having experience with Japanese assembly plants, those kind of mis steps are not tolerated.

You are correct, however, Technics overseeing operations in Japan with the excellent work culture of all involved vs somewhere else plays a giant role. Even Toyota has issues with their Mexico made autos. The warranty repairs of Tacomas built in Mexico is huge over the US made California versions (thats even with US work culture). It's the managing of such that is the issue. I don not know Technics track record of managing outside their home country.

No matter how many parts. I'm talking management strength and its ability to set expectations and hold quality accountable. Much easier in Japan with their culture. My Toyota reference was attempting to show the "Worlds Best" can even have issues outside of the familiar, strong Japanese work culture. I'm not saying Technics/Panasonic does not have that ability. It's just something to consider. World class turntables can be assembled by hobos living under a bridge if proper management is in place. 

Value electronics has 1200g’s in stock according to their website

Luxman is getting ready to offer a MK II version of their PD-151 (The unit was displayed at recent audio shows). It looks like Luxman is making their own tonearm. Along with their new cartridge, Luxman seems committed to Analog. I may have to consider a belt drive TT if the Luxman turns out to be a winner. The fit and finish (plus sound) of my Luxman L-595a integrated is amazing.
