Dec Motor, Classic C8

Just found a Classic C8 with several lenses and filters at a good price. The fork mount has two small holes near the declination ajdustment knob (outside knob), so that a slow motion declination motor can be attached. The fork mount itself doesn't have a jack where the motor would normally be plugged into. Are there dec motors that have their own battery powered hand contoller that are independent of the telescope mount?
Any ideas?
Thanks, F.A.

I believe JMI can still provide what you want.

Uncle rod is right on the money, they even mention the one's without the jack for the older C-8.
