To clarify, IIRC that crank consists of an arm with a knob on one end
and a hole on the other end through which a screw attaches it to the
speed controlling spindle...is that the screw that went missing?

I'll try to swing by this week (likely Thurs evening) to take a look
at this and see what can be done to fix the limited speed range issue.
