Hi Jim,
If you can't find one you may find something here
http://www.candhsales.biz/cgi-bin/shop991/shop.pl/SID=740815274/page=DCME.htm
To figure the gear type, if you can get a boston gear catalog will help you in the right direction.

Also the RoboScopes YahooGroups forum might be a good resource. Chris Erickson (also from Alaska) is an EE who moderates the group, and I think that guy could turn a George Foreman grill into a GOTO mount.
