	Try opening the back of the cab up to see what make drivers are used and there could be some clues as to who made it. Tbh ive never seen one before so i couldn't say just from the picture.

	Can't judge the size of the cab but looks like a copy of the Altec 817.

	HF horns look like old Alec, but I don't think Altec, or even any major manufacturer, would have put two HF horns, and rings, side by side in the one cabinet like that. My guess is a backyard job...

	After seeing these photos, obviously Yamaha, though I am surprised that Yamaha would have put two horns together like that. I'm sure I have seen that power amp module used in something else, but it has been so long I cannot remember what, but would be mid to late '70s. Photo of broken board not clear enough to make anything out, but in any case it would be a repair / patch up job, as you would not be able to get any genuine parts for them. Any decent old-school tech should be able to get it going for you - fairly basic circuitry.
