Looks like they raided the Eagnas parts bin...

I've thought so too, and to be fair most machines seem to be made by a limited number of factories, then labeled.

The base clamps on the Tourna look like they are short-turn (quick action-like), whereas I know first-hand that the Eagnas base clamp levers on the machine above rotate 360 degrees, and the parts eventually strip and need to be replaced. There are a couple of threads in this forum about parts available from McMaster to rebuild those Eagnas clamps. Eagnas does offer machines with better base clamps.

The current Tourna machines are made by X-Spider in Taiwan, the same OEM Silent Partner used for their later machines -- the same models were branded as Top Serve in Australia, when that company had an extensive line of machine. Quality from this manufacturer has historically been quite good. Visually similar, but substantially different than Eagnas. That said, Tourna is charging a pretty penny, especially for their electronic machine.
