I think you should keep it because your son would love it when he is older. This would be a 8" f/6 newtonian with RA motor and DEC corrector motor (tangent arm) and mounted on a solid pier base unlike the newer flimsy tripods.

I have a Celestron NexStar 80SLT computerized telescope for sale but that also might be too complex for your son.
