I ordered them yesterday and they are on route now.
Item #: 17 500 ohm potentiometer. P/N S8101823 $12.35 each.
This is the rotator positioning pots in the rotators. The same pot is used in both azimuth and elevation. The pots can do 360 degree rotation and therefore are different from standard pots. I suspect the 5500 is the same but I won't swear to it since I only have the 5400.

I'd be surprised if the pots were not the same as they are the same values and size. Also, I have ordered the Elevation and Azimuth internal position 500 ohm pots which are the same and cost $12.35 each (mine were corroded from the weather).

How recently did you order them? I, too, had heard that the AZ/EL position pots were NLA from Yaesu...
