At a guess, there would be a Skywatcher equivalent nowadays. I'm sure that Steve or one the other astro dealers would confirm that.

I don't think it is an f7, it is probably an earlier f5 version of the Skyliner 200p Dobsonian.

If it is in good condition and you can collect (they don't travel well unless in their original packaging) then it is a very good OTA at a good price.

It is the same mirror-set as used in THIS
