Omano OM159 condenser?

Does the condenser on the Omano OM159 have a control knob for height adjustment?
If I can't see it with my microscope, it ain't worth looking at. :D

With 300 looks and no replies I'll answer this myself.
The answer is..... Yes it does.
And how do I know this? I bought one.
See, it wasn't that hard.

Is that an old microscope ? if not, and if the only way of knowing whether it can move up and down is to buy one and try, that says something about the post-purchase support and customer service... and documentation of the microscope...

It's a new model and I bought one and it does go up and down. :)
I was able to download the manual from Microscope.com and it said that it does.
