I believe there was a drive corrector available for the Samson and I've probably got the part number in an old Astro-Optical catalogue somewhere. (I will have a look and see if I can find it although you wont be able to buy one new).
The drive corrector would be needed for astro-photography but for general tracking I would think you a fine with just power to the motor.
240V is always a worry and you have to make sure everything is properly earthed. Make sure your 240V supply is protected against earth leakage by a residual current device (RCD) in your power supply circuit. This is now mandatory but old houses do not always have protected circuits. Portable RCD power boards are available. Ask an electrician to check if you are not sure.
