[amsat-bb] Re: Yaesu G-5500 Azimuth Motor Replacement

In conclusion, I guess I will have to either (1) Replace the azimuth portion with a G-800 using a seperate control box for azimuth and elevation or (2) try to replace the azimuth portion with a G-450 rotor.

Or:

(3) Purchase a replacement G5500 Az motor from Yaesu (they should be back in stock now?)

(4) Send the problem motor to a motor repair / rewind company (maybe a few hundred $)

(5) Rewind the motor yourself (doable, but it takes a while)

Good luck, and 73! -Dave KB5WIA
