   Which model spot?   They made a lot of them, and they all are 
different in various ways.

   Commonly you would find one or more focusing and zoom adjustment 
knobs, an iris knob, shutter knob, various effects and gel knobs. (Knobs 
may also be levers)

    Generally they can be fixed up by a good cleaning and relubing (with 
correct high temp lubes) and judicious bending of metal back into it's 
place.
