[amsat-bb] Re: Pots for 5400 or 5500?

[w4upd]

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).

Regards,

    Reid, W4UPD
