There are also some very cool refractors up for auction on AM including an
AP 155 f/7 and a TEC140 also f/7:

I would love to have either one of these beauties but unfortunately don't
have any toy money left and I am not about to sell my Tak stuff.  I did
spend a night with a TEC140 last summer and it was outstanding.  I liked the
images better than my Tak 128mm.  Most of the difference was probably the
extra aperture but still the TEC is a fantastic scope.
