Im pretty sure that there has NEVER been AC motor versions of the 
G-800/1000/2xxx series rotators.  I have never encountered one, or uncovered 
any such evidence.

 

Even the old G-2000(RC) versions popular in EU are DC motors from the git-go.

 

The G-5500 converted about 2 years ago, the G-450A about 1 year + ago.

 

 

The 450A is not the same rotator as the AZ portion of the 5500.  The top mast 
clamp is fixed on the 450A, whilst the G-5500 is not,  in order to mount the U 
channel for the attached EL portion.  And don’t think about mounting it upside 
down…If you separate, then, of course, you can use any rotator for the AZ!
