A crank for the spring winding with white round sticker with numbers and speed adjustment lever in the metal plate slot are on the right lateral panel.

    The cantilever is mounted in conical supports between the adjusting screws on the sound box housing lower part with inscriptions on the diaphragm and the box rear side.
