Ah. OK, I changed what I'd written before.

I did try, and nothing happened (story is now up).

D'OH! Picture #1 clearly shows an on/off switch I was unable to find
yesterday. This adjust2000.co.jp site is chock full of excellent
information. And the site translation site Nath mentioned earlier is very
powerful - it gives me the ability to navigate a translated site and find
even more excellent information. I'm still exploring info about the Jansui
machine.
Anyway, thanks doubly, Nath. I found the on/off switch, and the machine now
lights up and makes whirring noises. Pictures and details at

Cheers!
