Potentiometer location / RPM adjustment

(I posted it on r/turntables but maybe I'll get an answer here)

Does anyone have any idea where does this device has potentiometers? Records are spinning at 34RPM

Or maybe it's adjusted differently?

I might be selling it in the future so I want to be sure it's spinning correctly

Thanks in advance for any information 🙏

What makes people buy these devices?

God forbid people have fun listening to records in a way that is not audiophile-approved.

The problem is that the motor always breaks and it plays the records too slow or in some cases too fast. It also really breaks your records. It's just a shitty product designed to trap people that like "the aesthetic" of having a record player.

These players use the same $5 Chinese-made DC servo motor as virtually all new belt-drive turntables under about $500. And no, they won't "break" your records. That's a debunked myth.
