91.76.165.32
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.
Follow Ups:
on the little square display window on top of the voltage selector, it means that the 220V has been selected. To physically adjust the voltage selector you need to insert a screwdriver into the slot found in the center of the voltage selector to turn it either clockwise or anti-clockwise to select the proper voltage from the little square display window on top of the voltage selector.

Yes, I checked again and the 220V has already been set. I am going to buy a 250mA/240V fuse as required for 220V.
By the way, is critical whether the fuse is "slow-blo" or "fast-blo"? Last time when I purchased some fuses the local shop assistant could not understand what I was saying...
if you can. Slow blow fuse can withstand the surge current upon power-on/off.

If you use a slo-blo fuse when a (normal) fast-blow is specified, you risk damaging the gear, maybe substantially, if there is a fault. For fuses in the power supply, there is also a safety issue.
Hifi-manuals.com has the service manual/schematic.

I will appreciate if you could send me the service manual at Akolegov@cgsh.com

Just the opposite - the manual says "slow blow"...
However, in this case, Revox cassette decks always use slow blow fuses.
