Motor drive options

Does anyone know of a good RA motor drive
that could be adapted to fit a German
equatorial mount (home made).

It uses 1 1/4" steel shafts and pillow block
ball bearings. The old drive I use came from
Astro Optical, a long time ago. The thing cogs quite a bit
and won't maintain position very well at higher
magnification.

When I win the lottery I might go for a Losmandy with all the bells and whistles and dump all this old home made stuff.
