[TowerTalk] Help needed to wire up Yaesu G-800S Rotor cable to the controller

[David Robbins]

Between 2 of the wires there should be a very low resistance, those are the
motor.  The other 3 are the pot, there should be 500 ohms between the two
ends of the pot and the left over wire is the wiper.

My Ham friend had a stroke and cannot find his color-code to pin-number
paper for the 5 wires coming from the Yaesu 800S rotor on his tower.

What tests using a multimeter, etc. can I perform to the end of the rotor
cable in his radio room to find out what color wire goes to which of the 5
pins on the controller box?

Thanks for any ideas you can give.
