No, The same part is used in the three versions of the rotor. The part in the control box is common to all the control boxes. Better said is the part for the rotors is S8101823 and the part for the control boxes is Q9000404. Hope that makes it clear.

I looked around on the net for a substitute 500 ohm pot for the rotor. I finally called Yaesu and got tech support after a long wait. The potentiometer in the 5400, 5500 and 5600 are the same part. The order department still has the old number for the 5400 which caused them to say they did not stock them anymore. Here is the part number and price for the pot.
#S8101823 Price $12.35
That should settle the question about fixing the control box or the rotor. 73's << John

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

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hey, I called Yaseu to order the pots and have 6 coming. 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
