| DYNAGOD:
i bought a japanese Cabinet today and it was designed to run at 100v. Is it safe to run the cabinet on 110-120v . i dont want to burn my damn house down :o thanks |
| DaveJ-UK:
If it says it needs 100v then that's exactly what it needs. If it says 100v - 120v (or a range) and your local voltage falls within that range, then you'll be fine. You will need a step up transformer with the correct ratio otherwise. |

ive known people who import stuff, (ie video game consoles), and dont have a problem plugging them in. if there is a problem, you will most likely end up blowing a fuse on the power supply before your house burns down.. |

Don't do it. I knew a guy who brought back a pachinko machine from Japan and doofus he was, he plugged it in. We had a GREAT time playing "Smell the smoke", and "Look at the burn marks". What a swell time we had with that pachinko machine. |

Stick a multimeter in your socket, you might not have 120 volts anyway. I have a Japan cab and it has no problems at 120 volts. |
