I looked over the Scope City site and did not see this scope so I am going from memory here.
If I am not mistaken, this would be a longer focus achromat, probably Japanese with a 1.25 inch focuser. While quite competent, Parks stuff is generally about 25 years behind the times and rather expensive. Almost always one can find significantly better scopes at significantly lower prices.
