External View of the Venus 2000 Power Unit

The Venus 2000 power unit. In front is an inexpensive screwdriver from Radio Shack with replaceable tips. This particular tip happens to be the exact Allen wrench size for the four case screws that hold the black plastic turtle shell on the power unit. You can see in the upper left the multi-pin connection for the remote control box. Below that is the socket for the A/C power cord with its fuse drawer hiding below it very well concealed. The other side are the two connections for the rubber air hoses. The top tubulation is for the stroke control hose, which is about 1/8 inch ID, and the bottom one for the receiver air hose which is about 3/8 inch ID.

You can just make out one of the screw heads holding the cover on at the bottom left corner of the case. Note the nice handle on top. The unit is a bit heavy and a well placed stout handle is a plus. Note the handle is off center. This is for balance as the motor is on that side and represents most of the internal weight.
