I own a Nova Hitch myself, without the tracking. I love it as an alt/az mount.
I think only a few Nova Hitches with tracking units were ever completed.?
I think your best bet is to contact Charles' son, Jake.? Unfortunately, Jake has sort of disappeared a few years ago,
and is apparently not responding to inquiries.?
Checking my emails, I found some related posts that were posted to the group, appended below.?
Good luck!

The outlook for the?Nova?Tracking?Control is even a bit better.? All of the parts have been paid for.? I just need to get the control boxes from the consultant.
From Jake Riddel, May 22 ,2018:
Also, there have been a couple emails about the?Nova?Tracking. I actually do think I have all the parts to ship add-on kits. But again, this is also a big time sink. So, similar story, but I think putting together a kit is maybe 1.5 hours (might be more, have to solder quite a few wires), and shipping will be less as its lighter and smaller than a full mount, so maybe $150 to ship a?tracking?unit? I'll have to put one together before I finalize this to see if my estimate is accurate.?

Nova?tracking.... I found out at least 1 mount shipped with all the motors and everything pre assembled. If there are more of these, I can just send you a?tracking?unit. I can start doing these more or less immediately.

?I?was the one that sold that mount on Astromart.? ?I had gotten the mount without the controller, and later Charles sent me a controller to try.? He trusted I could do the wiring, and it worked fine, but was a little touchy in terms of force adjustments needed.
