I remember when I first got my Venus (I was working at Burstein-Applebee in 
KC, at the time), at first I was disappointed that it only went to 50.4 
(50.5, actually), but when you think about 6m in the 1960's and 1970's 
(like NOW), everything was clustered around 50.110 - 50.125, these days, so 
it didn't make any difference.  The Eddystone dials on the Zeus and Venus 
are essentially the same, but somehow, it just looks better on the Venus - 
heck, my old 1964 HBR-11 still has the National ACN dial - something kinda' 
cool about it, that I love.

Q.  On BBOD's (Black Beauties of Death) - does one read the color bands like 
normal?  i.e. org, org, red - 3300 pf?
