Hey guys this is going for $75 on CL. Does anybody know what model it is and if it's a good buy? I contacted the seller but he doesn't know. Appreciate your help!

Looks like a 114/f8. If made in Japan, and the optics are good $75.00 would be a good deal. This is probably not the case. If a classic it would have a wooden tripod and all metal focuser.
I know the celestron/vixen 114/f8 of the 80's are considered to have an excellent mirror.

It's only 04:13 as I type, and the link is a bust.

Link doesn't work for me either. Ditto on the legs. If they're aluminum, chances are it's a later model department store scope. Those are $30 scopes in my market. We need more info.
