I've did some digging, too.

for the corsair II, it looks like it's a microprocessor, and unless you have 
the code,or can read it from a known good chip, you're sunk.

here's the data sheet:

http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/77313/MOTOROLA/MC68705P3S.html

you can find the part, "IF" you're willing to spend the $200 min line.

the corsair I, the MK50398N is a bit easier to find. It's just a 'counter on a 
chip' and there's a place in England that has them in stock for a mere $150 + 
shipping.


Like jerry mentioned, I'd look into the receiver counter from AADE and see if 
you couldn't the counter to use the ten tec original corsair display
