I ordered them yesterday and they are on route now.
Item #: 17 500 ohm potentiometer. P/N S8101823 $12.35 each.
This is the rotator positioning pots in the rotators. The same pot is
used in both azimuth and elevation. The pots can do 360 degree rotation
and therefore are different from standard pots. I suspect the 5500 is
the same but I won't swear to it since I only have the 5400.
