Hi Richard,
I just bought a new azimuth rotator for my Yaesu G 5500 because Yaesu repair was taking way too long to do its job. I finally received back the refurbished and repaired old azimuth rotator which I'm now selling.
Refurbishment included a new potentiometer, ball bearings and fresh grease, etc. It has been tested and works. Note: this sale is only for the azimuth rotator. See invoice in photos for description of work done. No returns.
Price is $122 plus ConUSA shipping of $22 for total price of $144 - payable via PayPal.
I just listed this on QRZ this afternoon at:

There is also a G5500 controller posted on eBay today for about $90....you can also buy just the EL G5500 rotator for $250 plus shipping.
Lots of options...maybe some mix works for you.

I guess my 20 year old G-5400B doesn’t owe me anything more. I rebuilt the EL rotor once about 15 years ago, today everything went haywire. It seems the AZ stopped because of a poor terminal connection at the rotor. I no sooner got that fixed, finding the rotor to the. Be completely out of alignment, and the EL rotor quit functioning and then the smell of something burning coming from the control box.
Any body have a control box they want to get rid of? I hate to do it but I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and buy an entire new system.
