Any idea about these Tuning Machines

Got these at a yard sale because I was planning on putting together a bass with a bunch of used parts. Does anyone have any idea what brand they are or possibly what kind of bass they came off of? Any help would be appreciated.

The only writing on them says made in Japan. 3 screw hole design.

Doesn't matter where they came from provided you can use them on your project. 3/8" or 1/2"? They do have what appears to be a tension adjustable collar.

Japanese-made knockoffs of Fender tuners. Use as needed, don't worry much about where they came from.

Yeah, I'm not too worried. More curiosity then anything. The guy I bought them from said they were Gotoh tuners. Even had them in a Gotoh box. I didn't believe it....but I also didn't pay to much so it's all good.

Probably some Gotohs replaced those tuners. They look similar to ones on my Yamaha.
