SM42RT won't move Fw or Rev

I just bought a 1988 SM42RT lift. I have it running great. Everything is now working except for forward and reverse. When engaging fw or reverse from the lower control box, the alarm sounds but no movement. The upper control box is missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated, including where to find a replacement upper control box or any other helpful links. Thanks in advance.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
