The bell and swirl function as they are supposed to though the bell has some discolored areas and the swirl is bent. The crank works though I have cranked it only one rotation at most to avoid damage to it.
Without the car, the elastic moves well, however, once the car is placed onto the elastic, it needs some coaxing to get the car up to the top. I'm not sure if tightening the elastic and/or more cranking will resolve the problem. Please ask if you have any questions.
