Apart from the misnomer, who would want to pay $130 to $180 for an old EQ1 or equivalent. This type has no polar altitude bolts (bendy or not) so they are a nightmare to polar align, and prone to sagging once polar aligned. They also show a lot of wobble even with a light scope. A friend of mine had one with a 4.5" Newtonian (Tasco, I believe), and it caused quite a bit of frustration.

Maybe if one fell on the head of a vintage astrologer, they would see stars?

Looks just like the one I had with my old Tasco.

I guess it is described as 'vintage' because it is worn out and painted black?

Just noticed.. it's for an ASTROLOGICAL telescope!!
