[amsat-bb] Need spare parts for Yaesu G-5500 azimuth motor

[Gregory Beat]

The Yaesu antenna rotator product line was purchased from KenPro Electric (Japan) in 1990s.  Until the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, these antenna rotators were manufactured in Japan.  There were shortages (see KB5WIA below), as Yaesu had to replace some OEM suppliers, and prices rose afterward.

While you could order replacement parts from Yaesu HQ (Japan), 
http://www.yaesu.com/jp/amateur_index/index.html
there are regional Yaesu centers that can order these parts for you 
IF the regional center does not have “in stock”.

In Europe, Yaesu has a regional center in the United Kingdom (UK).

I need a replacement plastic pinion gear used in the motor.  I could not find a spare parts source for this gear.
The Yaesu G-5500 Service Manual on Page 13, Rotator Section picture indicates this heat is part 21, *pinion gear and WXSTD P/N :is 8000379*
-
I want to pay and order this part, if I know the source.
IF you have an extra one or you know a parts source for this part,
I need their contact address, e-mail, and telephone order.
