2440 European model - transformer wiring

The proof of the restoring is in the listening.

I got this 2440 and it turns out it is an European model (it is lableled 2240E on the back, it has no fuse box and the power cord is odd looking).

Inside we can clearly see there are options to change the voltage. The service manual says nothing about how to wire this particular version - how could I make sure it is running at the appropriate voltage?20211011_124339.jpg 20211011_125128.jpg

From your picture, it looks like the existing wiring is for 120V operation (I may be wrong)

The 4400 diagram seems to match exactly the color coding, and yes it looks very much like it is wired for 120V. I can also see that the blue enamel/glue is disturbed so it is very likely it is already correct.

Now... it has two slots for 10 Ampere fuses, not sure which rating should I use there...

Thank you, @sanjib !

I did... my eyes must be tricking me, I can't see any info in the SM I downloaded from here and from hifiengine...
 
I would do that and to check if it is wired for US voltage, check the AC voltage at bridge rectifier on one anode junction and it should be 42.5V AC
 
Excellent, @sanjib . I will check the voltages - if it isn't wired right I should get less with little risk of damage.
