If this thing is currently operating, then pulling the POWER lever should turn it off, while the POWER LESS lever would logically either slow it down or speed it up depending on which setting it's currently on.

Let me guess, "Power Less" gives a bullshit ending where "you're suddenly powerless! THE END". Hence I will choose power.

I can neither confirm nor deny this.
quote:
You stare at the lever marked POWER. What will happen if you pull it? you wonder.
“Do it,” Liz whispers. “Pull the lever.”
You look over at the skin scraping machine, then back at the lever. The door of the steel tumbler is closed. Jake’s muffled cries can be heard from inside.
The man in white overalls reaches for the dial to start the machine. His hand is almost on it. You pull the POWER lever.
KABOOM! Sparks fly from the control box and from the dials on the skin scraping machine. All the circuits are shorting out. The man in overalls pulls his hand back and covers his face just before the second KABOOM blasts open the door.
The whole laboratory is shaking. You and Liz hold onto each other and watch as Jake’s stretcher rolls out of the tumbler and down the ramp. Jake is still strapped in. His eyes and mouth are still taped shut. He can’t see what you see.
The chair is rolling wildly out of control. “Oh, no!” cries Liz. “He’s heading right for the...”
“Wax Dipping Laboratory!” you cry out together!
quote:
“Tip the stretcher over!” you call out to Jake. “Lean!”
But the noise of the sparks and short circuits makes it impossible for Jake to hear you. He’s a prisoner of the stretcher and it’s taking him to the next step – the final step.
The Skin Scraping Center is alive with workers scrambling to steady themselves and save the equipment. “Come on, Liz,” you say breathlessly. “After Jake!”
“Oh,” Liz cries hopelessly. “The end is near. I just know this is going to be it for us. For all of us.”
quote:
Uh-oh. It looks like your end might be here. Yours. And Liz’s. And Jake’s. You’re in the Wax Dipping Laboratory, and it’s very clear now what is going on at this Wicked Wax Museum.
You look around for Jake and spy an empty stretcher. But no Jake. Huge vats of hot bubbling wax are lined up across the center of the lab. Dozens of ropes hang from scaffolding. Giant machines rumble, tumble, swish, and swirl. Hundreds of wax-dipped figures dangle from drying racks. A voice on the other side of the laboratory shouts, “Check that one for readiness!”
“Yes, Dr. Wicked,” replies a worker in white.
Now you see him. It’s Dr. Izzy Wicked himself standing on a platform overlooking the lab. A mane of wild white hair frames his hollow-cheeked face. “Don’t dip him until you’re sure the steaming and skinning has been successful!” he orders.
Three other workers are gathered around a stainless steel table. When they step back you see what – or who – they’re examining. It’s Jake!
quote:
“It’s Jake!” Liz exclaims aloud.
Both the worker and Dr. Wicked swing around to see who spoke. They see you and Liz.
“After them!” Dr. Wicked orders. “After them!”
“Run!” you shout. “Run for your life!”
With all the workers in the laboratory coming after you, there’s only one way out of this: up.
Your thoughts are racing as fast as your feet. You’ve got it! You could climb the scaffolding on those ropes. Then you could swing down and tackle Dr. Wicked.
It’s risky. No, it’s more than risky. It’s life-threatening. But you have no choice other than which ropes to climb. You examine them closely. Some look too thin to support your weight. Others are thicker – but starting to fray. Which one will you choose?
If you go for a thin rope, turn to PAGE 71.
If you go for a thick, fraying rope, turn to PAGE 80.

quote:
You stare at the levers. Power less really must mean less power, you think. If the machine has less power, maybe it won’t start up. “Well,” you say to Liz, “here goes nothing.”
Sorry. Bad choice on your part. Power Less simply means you are powerless! Powerless to do anything that will save Jake. Or you and Liz.
When you pull the lever, the men in white overalls turn to look at you. They don’t run after you. They know you’re not going anywhere. You’re powerless to move. Jake is on his way into the Skin Scraper now. You glance at Liz and gulp. Your turn in the awful machine is coming soon.
Time to notify your next of skin. Because the end is near. In fact, it’s here.
THE END
Congrats to AceOfFlames for guessing this would happen, by the way.

That's exactly what thought of when I saw the words "power less": "Oh, it's another one of THOSE, isn't it?"

quote:
You glance back over your shoulder to see if the Strangler is following you. “Hey!” you exclaim with relief. You stop running and stare back in amazement. “He isn’t moving!”
From where you’re standing it’s obvious that the Strangler isn’t as scary as you thought he was.
“Is he made out of wax?” Liz asks breathlessly.
“Yeah! That’s what I think,” you declare. “Boy, are we stupid. Let’s go back and take a closer look.”
You run back down the block to where the figure still stands with his hands stretched out, ready to strangle his next victim.
Ah-ha! Just as you thought. “He’s wax, all right,” you laugh. “This whole setup is just another scene.”
Liz stops before she gets too close. “Are you sure he’s wax?” she asks nervously. “Are you absolutely sure?”
quote:
“Sure I’m sure he’s wax,” you laugh. “Look. I’ll prove it. I’ll put my neck right in his hands, see?” You back up to the wax figure and slide your neck between his outstretched hands. For once, one of these wax figures really *is* just wax. To convince Liz, you stand this way for a few seconds. “Look,” you joke. “He’s strangling me! Ha-ha! Help!”
“Very funny,” Liz says.
“Okay, okay,” you say, giving up the joke. “He’s not really strangling me. Who would want to strangle a nice kid like me?”
You start to step forward out of the Strangler’s hands. Warm fingers tighten around your neck. You feel your air being cut off. You can’t scream or talk or breathe. Mist surrounds you again. You feel as if you’re floating. You can’t see a thing. Everything is dark.
Everything is nothing now.
Who would want to strangle a nice kid like you?
The Strangler would, that’s who.
THE END
This is probably one of my favorite endings just for the sheer cutscene stupidity in play here. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if I put my neck between the hands of someone called the Strangler and started talking loudly about how unlikely I am to be strangled in the near future. I mean, it's not like I've literally just watched wax statues come to life and try to kill me."

You panic.
“AAHHHH!” you scream. “THE WAX FIGURE IS ALIVE!”
You have good reason to panic, too. You peeled a little wax off his hand. Now all the wax is flaking off his body – like skin peeling after a bad sunburn. You try to pull yourself away from his waxy grip, but he’s too strong.
“Liz! HELP!” you cry, turning your head to look for her. But Liz has troubles of her own.
Her red curly hair is completely tangled in an air vent on the wall. The more she struggles, the tighter the tangles become. She gazes at you, wide-eyed.
Looks as if you’re on your own against the Executioner. He’s holding you with one hand. With the other, he raises his gleaming steel ax...
If you're right-handed, go to PAGE 70.
If you're left-handed, go to PAGE 63.
