I'm looking for advice about a Parks Optical reflector I have.  Can anyone tell me how desirable these are?  Not looking for a number or buyer, just advice. 

It's in fantastic condition, the tube is 4ft long and 10in in diameter.  I have various eyepieces, lenses and filters, but trying to gut check for the reflector itself first.  I have the factory stand but no EQ motor.  

Knowing the quality of the optics back when Parks was making these, any advice on desirability and how to find it a good home?  Kids are out of the house, wondering who else may enjoy it.  Thanks in advance.
