I don't know why you couldn't find it.  Here it is on Sekonic's site
<http://www.sekonic.com/products/products.asp?ID=4>
and B&H is still selling it:
<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/221078-REG/Sekonic_401358_L_358_Flash_Master_Meter.html>
It's also mentioned in one of SmartShooter's articles on flash
<http://www.shootsmarter.com/content/view/114/>

Yes, the L-358 is weather sealed but that was never much of a concern to
