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.
