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).

Short of it is I don't know. I don't have a 5500. I would suggest you call Yaesu @ 1-714-827-7600 and ask if part #Q9000404 is listed for that rotor. They can answer that question for you. While you are at it as I did not think to ask would you inquire if they have any info on who made the potentiometer in the AZ and EL rotors for them and do they have a manufactures part number for it. I believe they are the same part. I am sure there are lots of folks here that would like that info.
Thanks << John

Why so many you ask? I was going to order a few of the pots for the rotor as well while I was at it and found out they no longer stock them. If you have a 5400 I would call Yaesu and get some of the control box pots while they are still available. I have the phone number and part number if you need it. 73's << John
