WTB - old style Yamaha double tom stands

[cribbon]

Looking for older model (80s-90s) Yamaha double tom stands (entire thing or just the top post with the twin posts. Looking for the top part of the stand shown in attached photo.

 

[Geardaddy]

I'm pretty sure I have 2 or 3 of those tops stored away. How many are you looking for?

 

[cribbon]

I need two, either complete stands or just the tops, whichever you've got. Any pix?

 

[jmele2]

I've got 2 of these hanging around somewhere if this is what you're looking for?

 

[cribbon]

That's not it, but thanks anyway. The top tube I'm looking for was made in the 80s-maybe early 90s and had two ball/hex rods embedded into the top.

Here are the 3 posts I have. The shorter ones have a 12" pipe and the longer one has a 28" pipe.

 

[cribbon]

I can use the two shorter ones. How much? Zip is 21012

 

[cribbon]

I remeasured and found that I need posts longer than 12"; can you cut the giraffe down to 18"?

@Trey Gray one of these and a couple of "L" armed ball mounts would work as well...

 

[Geardaddy]

I can cut down the long one to whatever length you want. $40 plus shipping for that one. I could also add length to the 12" pipe (butt the 2 pipes, internal brace, roll pins to tie them together). I'd do that for $45 plus shipping. Let me know what you want to do.

 

[cribbon]

I've been doing some additional calculating and I now think that the 12" pipes might be long enough for my purposes, but I'm going to check it definitely on Monday with a guy who has the size toms I want to use. At that point I'll know for sure what the minimum acceptable length is and what we need to do (I'm assuming the 12" on your pipes is the length from below the the tom balls to the bottom of the pipe and not the length from the absolute top of the entire thing to the bottom of the pipe - is that correct?). Thanks for your help, and I'll contact you on Monday. Merry Christmas!

BTW, how do you want to get paid?

 

[Geardaddy]

Actual pipe length is 11 3/4" from the bottom part of the cast mount. Why 11 3/4" instead of 12" I don't know. There's about another inch to the center of the ball mount part.

PayPal works best for payment.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you as well!

Update: the guy who was going to sell me the toms has decided to keep them, and without them, I don't need the stands. I'm currently looking for other sources (have even contacted the mfgr) but no luck yet. If/when I do get the toms, I'm just gonna guess and go with the two 12" tops. How much for those?

 

[Geardaddy]

$40 each plus actual shipping cost for the two 12" double tom holders. PM me when / if you get the toms. Thanks.

 

[cribbon]

Will do - thanks a ton!

Have located some of the toms. Ready to pay you for the two posts via PP.

 

[Geardaddy]

Great! I'll need your address to figure the shipping costs. Thanks.
