If you are lucky you might find motors and a controller on Amart, but they came up very rarely. I know i have looked when i was thinking of converting my Dob. The roboscope group is full of good information, you could try asking there for information. I also know that they made a modification you can do for the LXD motor PCB to attach a pittman motor to it. Perhaps something similar could be done with the DS motor.
Some folk there were working on a independed circuit that would allow connection to Autostar. I am not sure thought if that every came to anything. If you could do this then you could run any motor with this circuit.
The other suggestion I can give the one I am using on my G-11 is the Sitech Controller from Siderealtechnolgy. Having used the Autostar, i do miss its ease of use, however there is the hardship of getting parts for it. If it had been simpler I would have Autostare'd my G-11 also.
Also talk to Lenord at Gototelescopes.com he has done many old mount conversions to goto. The older Mead Starfinder mounts are very similar to the Astro Optical one you have.
