I am trying to repair a very expensive manlift joystick.
It has 4 pins total, three like a normal rotary potentiometer and then a fourth across from the other three pins.
It is PEO 284-04378 Type EJ pot. It has another number stamped "5k 1342"
The company not produce it more and I'm looking if there is something similar to do the same work I was looking for P271-DS21BR10K but is 10K would that affect?

It seems almost certain that you are looking for a "center tapped potentiometer" If you search using that term, you should be able to find a replacement. It seems likely that the pictured pot is 5K ohms. You may or may not be able to use a different value. You can not find the correct value, you could try a different value and see what happens. Trying 10K rather than 1K would seem to me to be the safest thing to try if you can not find 5K.
