Stopped by a SA today on my way to look at some "awesome stereo pieces." Decided to make an offer on a six shelf oak bookcase that has been there for months. Then I saw this sign sitting by the drop off bin. Got them both for $15. Really need the rack to organise a few stacks of audio components . But, there is more. Search the threads.

Wonder if it was originally for stereo gear, musical instruments, or motorcycles....

So, where you going to put it?

As this one will be hanging around audio it was made for stereo gear . It only has two small ring bulbs so I may hang it or mount it on a stand.

I would assume audio as the logo on the side features three tuning forks. I haven't seen that used in the motorbike logo, but I could be wrong!

Sorry amigo but you're wrong.

"Yamaha

This global Japanese company manufactures and sells a range of products including motorcycles, boats and boat engines, snow mobile and golf karts, and music instruments and audio equipment, as well as robots and computers. The business was created in 1887 in Hamamatsu, Japan. When it was first opened, Yamaha initially repaired musical instruments prior to manufacturing its own organs in 1889. Further on from this, the company created "Nippon Gakki Seizo Kabushiki Kaisha" which literally translated to "Japanese music instruments corporation." The logo of the company is representative of a light that has three crossed tuning forks. This is indicative of inventor Torakusu Yamaha's restoration of musical instruments."

Early Yamaha motorbikes at times featured the tuning fork logo.
