I'd guess 30-50, its only a small board in the boot. Try looking on ebay or putting a wanted add on here then you will see what people want for them. I need one of these too actually, mines corroded and not working.

I have one that I think is dry inside - gave up on trying to get my mechanism working, but as far as I'm aware, there is nothing wrong with the control box.
