That is true. Schwinns made by Panasonic are easily identifiable as their serial numbers are stamped into the front of the lower headtube.

I'm not a Schwinn expert by any stretch of the imagination but I've had few pass through my hands recently.

'89 Tempo Panasonic built
'86 Peloton Panasonic built
'87 Super Sport U.S. built
'87 Circuit U.S. built (currently own this one)
