For what its worth, I replaced my 5500 azimuth motor with one from a 650 a couple of years ago. Direct replacement, no problems.

And why wouldn't it be accurate, especially if it is the same part? They're both 450 degree systems.

My 5500 has had a 450 motor in it for about 8 years :)
It was cheaper to buy a used rotor than the motor from yaesu parts.
