Odd. Perhaps I have a different ETKA. The one I have is the 6.3
european version. It's chock-full of all sorts of wacky
european-market accessories, like super loud multi-tone musical horns,
auxiliary roof mounted turn signals, ambulance stretcher-chairs, and
headlight washers. I guess maybe most people have the US version?

Heh. Yeah, looks like a big round faced dial thingy with a face that
opens with a key. That must be it.

If anyone's interested, I could probably direct them to this strange,
foreign version of the ETKA...
