Pic of external mounting G5400 azimuth motor start/run capacitor here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/34151446542/in/dateposted/
Not very difficult to do. Got it at the motor shop locally. Dude looked at me as if I'd three heads when I told him what I wanted and what for.
Three wires: One for motor left winding another for motor right winding and one return. Not very complex.
Have fun playing. It's already broken. What could happen?

Hi folks, I own the Yaesu G-5400 rotators ( Azimuth and Elevation ) and the Yaesu G-5500 complete with the Control Boxes. As I have problems with both the G-5500 Azimuth and Elevation Rotors and as I still have both the G-5400 ones, I would like to know if I can use both the G-5400B rotators with the G-5500 Control Box or I need by force the original ones? I saw that the difference between the two Control Box is the Azimuth Display, that the G-5400B one has on the left and on the right side of the display: 180 S, while the G-5500 one has on the left side of the display: 0 N and on the right side of the display 90 E. Please anybody can help me to avoid any damage? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance
