Unless you're going to start imaging, and to be honest here I'd stand by my previous advice about keeping this as a nice visual instrument for bright objects in town, don't bother with a motorised focuser. A good 2" Crayford would be worthwhile though, JMI, moonlight, are reasonably cost effective options. There are plenty more!
It may require drilling new holes in the tube, and possibly enlarging the drawtube hole.
Cheers
Andrew.
