Default Otari MX5050- high/low speed change?

I've got an older MX5050...I assume this is the model preceeding the
MX5050B, which I also have.
The 5050B has an internal slide switch to select between speed pairs
of 3 3/4- 7 1/2 and 7 1/2-15ips. I have a manual for this machine, so
finding it was no problem.
I don't have a manual for this earlier machine, and it's quite a
different layout inside and I don't see any similar switches.
Does anyone know if the earlier 5050 can be switched to accomodate 3
3/4 and how to do it? It has the pitch control just like the 5050B,
so obviously the capstan is servo controlled and it also has the 1/4
track playback head mode switch just like the 5050B, so it would seem
that low speed playback would also be included.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks!
