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.

Due to several comments concerning attempts to contact Yaesu have been
met with no contact or delays, I thought I'd pass on the info I made
available to another on this list. I have found that by using the
email/internet approach first then following up via phone to finalize my
purchases seem to be reasonably successful. Hopefully this will help
others here on the list.

Directly from Yaesu. You go to sales (email) to get the part number for
the item # in your IPB. Then when they send you the part number, you
forward the email to parts and they give you a price. You can order via
mail, but since you don't know the shipping and I am in the US here, I
just finally follow up with ordering via a phone call to the parts
department.

My resent experience with Yaesu has been most impressive. I called and
ordered the pots for the control box and the order department was very
helpful. I called back to today to inquire about the pot for the rotor and
the order department connected me to tech support were I was told the
5400,5500 and 5600 rotors all use the same pot. I was returned to the order
line were I ordered 3 of the 500 ohm pots. The people were as nice to chat
with as any I have ever dealt with. 5*'s to Yaesu for an excellent service
department. I encourage anyone to just ring them up if you need parts or
have questions. If anyone needs the phone number or part numbers drop me a
email.

Rivets are OK... problem is a bad pot that has some intermittent areas.
I bought my 5400 used, and the previous owner had mounted the azimuth rotor
UPSIDE DOWN (no wonder it "turned the wrong way"...) and it got a LOT of
water inside. Despite my best efforts, the AZ pot has continued to go
downhill ever since.
Needs a brake disc, too...

I'm throwing this out for what it may be worth...
I now have two 5500's and have had no trouble for years.
Before that I had two 5400's and had trouble with
both on the pots...the connections were rivets,
and I opened up both and soldered the rivets, solved the problems on both...
I replaced them, still working because of the
over 360? rotation on the 5500's..
May be worth a shot to take a look....

I'll be in the mostly wet FM13 grid square tomorrow for both morning SO50 plus
at least the first AO27 passes tomorrow (Thursday). I will probably stick
around and operate from there during the second AO27 pass as well, but that's
not for sure yet.
>From there, I'll spend tomorrow night in Charleston, SC, so that I can run
another mostly wet grid square, FM02, on the 18/2327Z SO50 pass as well as
Friday morning's pass at 1339Z.
After that, I'll hit the road and head for south Florida (EL96) before
returning home to EM70 and tackle the QSLs for last weekend's "Delaware Day".
73,

Hi Tim,
I have heard the F2IL in almost all pass of the AO-7, but I do not know
the reason for him not to return my calls. Any contact with Andre,
ZS2BK, I reported in the AMSAT reflector. I got a friend a CW paddle,
be more active on CW. I will be attentive to their called. Grateful for
your attention.
73 and Best Regards
Piraja, PS8RF.

I have no affiliation with the seller, nor do I know if it's a good
price or not, but I found this on eBay, a Kansas City Tracker for $55
