I inherited a Lionel 219 crane in beautiful condition, all original. My question is I don't see how to raise the crane boom. One of the knobs will turn the crane from side to side. Another knob will raise and lower the cable with the pick-up hook on the end. The third knob turns a gear below the boom but the shaft does not turn and I don't see how to raise the boom. Can anyone shed some light on this wonderful piece of machinery?
Thanks,
George
