The Raven 460 is very popular and relatively inexpensive. You can find nice used ones on line. http://www.fastline.com/v100/listings.aspx?Category=Precision+Ag+Eq...
These don't appear to have the flow meter and harness so that will be extra.
You certainly do not want to spend more for a controller then you spent for the sprayer. Auto steer and boom height controllers are definitely out. Your hydraulics are not capable to run them. Ag Leader controllers are not very compatible with old Hagies.
Your biggest problem is being ready to go by next Monday. You will not receive a new controller until Monday at the earliest. Installation will take some time as well. Have you contacted Hiniker to see if they can troubleshoot you through your problem. I have no experience with Hiniker controllers but if that controller is still in the sprayer after all these years it must have worked ok. Follow your 3 rules and call Hiniker.
