I remember pulling one apart a few years ago.

It used a 555 timer to generate a 50Hz waveform, which could then be varied by a 'Fast' or 'Slow' button, or a pot for fine adjustment.

Electronics Australia magazine did a telescope drive project back in the 80's which I can scan if you need it.

Cheers,
Jason.
