Done this on my controllers.  The Jones Series 300 6 pin part numbers are

chassis socket 38330-0506  fits Yaesu hole and screws
cable plug 38331-5606
cable socket 38331-8006  in case you want to make an extension cable

Mouser has them in stock, less than $5 ea.

The wires in my controllers were long enough to change the socket without taking the controller apart, so the swap took about 15 minutes. If you have a couple of 0.01uf ceramic caps then you don't need to unsolder the ones on the stock Yaesu connector. Note that Yaesu's pin numbering is different than Jones, so that can be confusing.

In response to the original Yaesu rotor controller Cinch Jones type
plug/socket where one blade is turned 90 degrees, Yeasu had these specially
made. There are no replacements or substitutes.
Once Yaesu stopped support, these connectors disappeared.
The best is to look at a Cinch Jones catalog and find a suitable connector
that fits in the opening of the controller.
This however, requires rewiring the cable and controller of course, but you
will have a connector that will work and can be readily replaced in the
future.
