[Premium-Rx] WJ-8716 power source

I gave you some bum information a few days ago. Mea culpa. When I said 
check the switches on the rear panel, I was thinking of another radio. 
There aren't any on the WJ. Here's some instructions from my WJ-8718/MFP 
book (an HF radio):

Looking at the fuse block at the back of the receiver, when the line 
cord plugs in, "with the line cord unplugged, the clear plastic window 
can be slid over the three male power receptacle prongs. This exposes 
the line fuse and a hinged, plastic FUSE PULL lever. Swinging the FUSE 
PULL lever to the left ejects to fuse from the holder and frees a 
line-voltage-select PC wafer found at the bottom of the assembly. 
Looking down on the PC wafer at a slight angle on the left side shows 
the selected line voltage for the receiver, either 100, 120, 220, or 240 
VAC. If the voltage shown does not match the available line voltage, 
remove the PC wafer and reinstall it so that the closest line voltage is 
visible with the voltage being used....."

Hope that does it for you.
