Did the seller know what they had and misleadingly advertised it, or did they 
not have a clue about it? You could ask for a refund maybe.

Where in N.Z. are you? I'm in Auckland and have a pile of Model B's and Master 
128s and I'm sure I could spare 1 for you. I'd be happy to trade it for your 
Econet Master if you like.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Mike.
