Can someone verify my eyesight, it might have got distorted due to the contents of my Xmas puddin'? Magnifying the 2nd pic in post#12 seems to me to show that the mains input pins might be marked + & -

If so then following the one marked + to the voltage selector panel via the switch, it looks as though it's connected to the center tag which I think is the pole of the selector which might suggest that the pin marked + is the live pin?
