Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

According to freely downloadable Service Manual (not the best quality)  
this instrument has universal transformer with voltage selector in  
primary circuit. Voltage selector is in the list of parts, so it must  
be somewhere. That means no soldering or reconnecting cables is  
necessary.

Because such selector is not described in Owner's Manual, it's inside  
the machine, somewhere in PSU circuit near the transformer.

During changing the voltage pull AC cord from the mains. Good luck.

Anyway I don't think you can destroy it even when connected - Canada  
has 120 V, Europe 220 V. It will just not work.
