I think it is Personal Solar Telescope.
No good for anything else other than the Sun. (due to inbuilt filters).
Meade Coronado PST.
There may be one on the Classifieds here.
I bought mine second hand here for $550. And that is the basic model (with case).

Or you could go for a small MAK, with tracking, and a special solar filter for about the same, but you could use that for normal astronomy too.
I sold a Saxon Mak with auto tracking and solar filter on this forum 2 years ago for $180. New it was under $400.

So bargains can be had.
Look through the classifieds or try andrews communications for something new. They are in Sydney but do ship cheaply. Or Bintel I think are in Melbourne, and they are good to deal with.
