[amsat-bb] WTB working Yaesu 5400 or 5500 rotor

[Mike]

Correction, It is a G5400B model. I just checked the box.
Still in the original plastic wrappers.
Sorry for the miss-information .

5400B... the 5400 (no B) does not have the 8 pin DIN jack on the back to 
hook up an interface for computer control. It is either a strictly 
manual control rotator or you would have to add your own control lines, 
if that is possible. I don't know, I haven't seen the 5400 schematics. 
Not sure if the motors are the same between the two versions and if you 
could look for a 5400B controller to go with it or not. I know the 5600B 
is wired different and the 5500 is a wired like the 5600B but with 
different connections. NOW... if you just left the 'B' off and you 
actually have a 5400B, the last 5400B I saw listed went for about $400 
in VGC. I paid $300 shipped for mine about a year ago, but it needed a 
bit of refurbishing and there was a long line of folks wanting it; I was 
the lucky first one to respond to a great deal. A year or so ago, some 
sold for $500. If it's a 5400B, new and still packed with grease (not 
corroded) and known to be in proper working condition, $500 would be my 
asking price to start out. But as always, something is worth what the 
market will bear, not what was paid in the past. So... your mileage may 
vary. And if it's a 5400 (no B) you'd have to find a buyer who doesn't 
care about computer control and see what you could get. Just one 
opinion... hopefully you will get a few more. 73, Kevin N4UFO
