The pinout from the schematic is:

 1-2-3 are the position sensor, which are marked "VR5 500" and "VR6 
500" variable  resistors on the schematic, for both az and el. 2 is the 
wiper and 1 and 3 are taps at either end of the winding.

 4-5-6 are the motor voltage. 4 and 5 turn one way or the other, with 6 
being the return. 

If you need the voltages let me know and I'll measure them.
