Wanted: Autostar 497 + LXD Motors or DS Motors

Hi All,

Ok time to Robo the Dob, am looking for a used Autostar 497 + LXD Motors, DS Motors would also do but require a bit more work.

I also need some sugestions on retrofitting this to my Dob, i am thinking simplest would be a Flywheel Belt drive arrangement. Could also go for a threaded Rod but this is beyond my skill level. Anyone out there can suggest where i could source a readymade or cusotm made bit FLywheel plus belt.
I am thinking of something like this for Alt and Az.

or Soemthing like this a threaded rod/homemade worm wheel method.
