Tom,
I hate emails that don't answer the questioned asked, but find myself doing it anyway. When I had a 5400 I was able to repair the pot. There used to be a wire that twisted as the pot turned. This wire liked to fail from repeated twisting. You may want to try replacing it.

Anyone know a source or a replacement pot for the Yaesu G5400 azimuth rotor. That's the 500 ohm pot that measures the position.
