Yes, there are a few things marked nc-200 in this one too.  As you know
Todd, mine has the flat dial cover and I'm sort of glad it does, as I've
seen several of the bubble covers get deformed with heat I suspect.  For
some reason the flat cover doesn't seem to be that way.

I'd still like to get a good hires image of a dial that has the red
bandspread indication if anyone could provide it.
