There's a K2DMD motor drive set on eBay now, without camera body and data back.
It's described as working but it sounds like NiCad cell may need replacing.

Shame my K2 isn't a DMD model. that would be awesome to have.

Would've been cool to have another motordrive kit.

Does anyone have the instructions for how to change the batteries?

Here is a complete kit:

Look at this on eBay RARE!!! PENTAX K2DMD K2 DMD WITH MOTOR DRIVE MD, NI-CD BATTERY PACK M | eBay

You can use the Battery Grip M - uses AA batteries.

The price is kind of high for a 2 fps "motor drive", the same rate later offered by inexpensive power winders.
The Winder MX is probably close to double that. It is rare though, and would be a nice addition for a collector.

true, but that grip is really not the best designed grip. I have one in my collection. It would be better to fix the nicad cells

I do think this is a bit expensive, but then again, I am always looking for a good deal. The MD I have for my K2DMD was bought at kEH.COM for something like USD60.
