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
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).

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).

How recently did you order them?
I, too, had heard that the AZ/EL position pots were NLA from Yaesu...

I ordered them yesterday and they are on route now.
Item #: 17 500 ohm potentiometer. P/N S8101823 $12.35 each.
This is the rotator positioning pots in the rotators. The same pot is used in both azimuth and elevation. The pots can do 360 degree rotation and therefore are different from standard pots. I suspect the 5500 is the same but I won't swear to it since I only have the 5400.
