Missing LX50 hand controller? Can the scope still work?

I seemed to have lost my hand controller for my 8" Meade LX50 during a
recent move. After my frustration settled the fear set in. Can this
scope work again? I know I can still observe through it, with
difficulty. But, can I buy a replacement? Or, does anyone think I can
still get a decent price for it without the controller (I was going to
sell it soon anyway)? Thanks for the help and any sympathy.

Contact Meade Instruments for a replacement hand paddle.
If they do not have any I have one I can sell you. But I am almost
certain that they can help you with a new one

It seems that Meade is not selling the hand controller any more. So if
anyone out there has one for sale please contact me at, rdeol85 at
