I like that small story from how sinclair hired another company to solve the problems of the unreliable case:

"The casing was impossible to keep in one piece. It was made from a plastic which turned out to be unglueable, so the parts were designed to clip together. The clips didn't work either and the problem was turned over to a subcontractor. Sinclair later (much later) received a small box on which was written, "We've solved the problem of the Black Watch!". Inside was a Black Watch with a half-inch bolt driven though it. "

Got them too and works a treat, have decided to put it up for grabs on ebay, desperate for the cash being an understatement :(

I noticed you said in the description that you don't know how to set it up, did you try the instructions posted in this thread?
