Setting Date on Pre Quick Date Set

I have a very old DJ my Father gave to me. Given it's year, it is pre quick date set. Is there some machine that will spin the crown really fast so that setting the date is not so tedious?

You can set the date in either direction, so don't do more work than you need.

You can wind it back and forth between 9:30pm and midnight to set the date faster.
