Looking for Manual/Info on dbx 119

I'm looking for a user manual for a dbx 119 unit, in PDF format hopefully. Or I need some info on the jumper near the AC input of this unit.

My problem is I have an old dbx 119 compander which has a standard US two blade AC cord on it (looks to be the original brown cord), but on the rear panel near the AC cord connection it says 220v (on a little silver sticker, probably over the original 110v label).

So I don't know what to think, since it has the usual two blade plug and not any kind of euro type plug. There's a white jumper connecting 2 poles (out of 3) near the AC input on the circuitboard. I'm hoping this jumper switches between 110v and the 220v it's probably set for now?

I haven't pugged it in yet, because I'm not sure what's going on with this.

Any info on my situation or user manual quest would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    My DBX 119 bought decades ago has a silver sticker marked 240V above the legends 50/60 HZ and 2 WATTS on the back panel above the exit for the mains lead. Lots of hi-fi around this time came with American 2 pin plugs and some amplifiers of this vintage had mains outlets which could take them . Then along came EU regulations to spoil this. My DBX 117/119 manual shows a jumper ( link ) behind the transformer - this sets the voltage to 110V or 220V. My stickered 119 is definitely UK voltage.

    My manual has a circuit diagram and component position layouts - I could probably scan it if need be :)
