you may be able to buy the motor on Ebay and or by calling this large retailer on this web site: http://www.opticsplanet.net/konus-telescopes.html?gclid=CI-VpPSno6sCFcKd7Qod_FF33w
Highest theoretical power is 250x but it has to be a perfect night. konus does have very good optics but at f/4.3 it is a low power, wide field scope. So 500mm fl / 2mm eyepiece = 250x. Eyepieces of that high power have eye relief issues as well as blurry edges unless you want to pay $500 or more Here is a good eyepiece which will give you 96x and 20mm eye relief. I own the 12.5mm version http://agenaastro.com/agena-5-2mm-ed-eyepiece.html BTW I rarely go over 150x with my big scope, the higher the power also equals seeing more atmosphere
Your telescope must be pointed DIRECTLY at them. Right now Venus, Mars, and Saturn at up in the evening sky after dark. Download a free planetarium software and locate the planets in the sky.
You will not find a manual. However you have a reflector that is mounted on an equatorial mount. Meade has a very similar telescope and maintains a web site for all of their telescopes. Look under REFLECTOR heading for one that is similar to your telescope. They all assemble in a similar fashion.
