Voltage and fuse adjustment in Revox B710-II cassette recorder

Posted by akolegov on June 23, 2017 at 11:45:42:
I just received a Revox B-710 MKII cassette player. Haven't used this format for more than 20 years.

I need to set the voltage and the fuse accordingly (or to check the setting - my local voltage is 220V while the seller's voltage is 220V). There is a voltage selector and a fuse selector on the rear, but I cannot figure out how to select it physically - I see the figure 220 on top but I am not sure whether the seller set the voltage at 220V or not and he does not remember. And I don't see any slot in order to adjust the voltage with a screwdriver (and I don't want to scratch anything while using the screwdriver!).

So, how should I do it physically?

Any help will be appreciated.
