[amsat-bb] Yaesu rotor troubles

[Robert]

Hi Richard,

I just bought a new azimuth rotator for my Yaesu G 5500 because Yaesu 
repair was taking way too long to do its job. I finally received back 
the refurbished and repaired old azimuth rotator which I'm now selling.

Refurbishment included a new potentiometer, ball bearings and fresh 
grease, etc. It has been tested and works. Note: this sale is only for 
the azimuth rotator. See invoice in photos for description of work done. 
No returns.

Price is $122 plus ConUSA shipping of $22 for total price of $144 - 
payable via PayPal.

I just listed this on QRZ this afternoon at:

There is also a G5500 controller posted on eBay today for about 
$90....you can also buy just the EL G5500 rotator for $250 plus shipping.

Lots of options...maybe some mix works for you.
